WHY IS KYLE DEAN REINFORD FREAKING THE FUCK OUT?
Photographer/actor/singer Kyle Dean Reinford is really mad that Hipster Runoff published his photos without his permission. (Read more here.) According to an update on The Village Voice, what really 'ticks him off' is not just that Carles used his photos, it's that:
Original photo by Kyle Dean Reinford and photo altered by Carles:
- One of the photos was altered: "What I'm objecting is mainly the defacing of one of my photos. I don't appreciate it."
- The blogger, Carles, uses non-grammatically correct English: "It's crazy to think that some asshole can anonymously steal copyrighted work, completely disregard the English language and its structure, . . ."
- Carles' makes money with his blogging: ". . . and somehow make money off of the ads from his site."
HIPSTER PHOTOGRAPHER FREAKS OUT--THREATENS TO SHUT DOWN HIPSTER BLOGGER
New York 'scene' photographer/actor/singer Kyle Dean Reinford recently found out viral blogger Carles republished one of his photos on Hipster Runoff blog with attribution and a link to Reinford's site but without his permission. Now Reinford is bringing out the big guns to protect his intellectual property: he is filing a DMCA request. His twitter stream indicates he may also be 'losing his shit'.(Photo of Kyle Dean Reinford by Kyle Dean Reinford used in accordance with the fair use doctrine.)
