Here's a story typical of the shit I have to deal with every day. Early last year, this guy sent me pictures of a girl with nipple stretchers — he claimed to be the photographer. Anyway, he got — and used — his membership, but then a little while later I got a message from someone at the same email address as him, freaking out.
They told me that the photos were sent without permission and that if I wanted to avoid getting sued I'd have to remove them immediately. They were of course removed, and I assumed that the story was done with.
Well, a few days ago I got another email from the guy telling me some porn site had stolen the pictures, gave me the address, and asked me what I was going to do about it. I told him there wasn't really anything that I could do about it, but recommended that he stop them legally if it concerned him (and I gave him their whois information).
Then I get a series of angrier and angrier messages blaming me, and now threatening me with a lawsuit if I don't stop them. I tried to explain to the guy that because he'd illegally sent me photos, and I had no legal claim to the photos (and was no longer even using them on the site), I didn't have any legal authority to go after this company, but he didn't seem to get it.
