Well done krazy!!!! I'm suer you have put them in their place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DUBAI · November 27th, 2006, 02:57 AM

the cheek.

perhaps we should start making up rumours about these companies unless they make amends.

have the offenders been notified?

ragga · November 27th, 2006, 10:11 AM

I am sure they read this very often, however they honestly don't care. I think we should start rumors about them how they steal photographs and not show true images of their own properties yet rely on others. I have a lot of contacts here that wouldnt be a problem...

but isnt that the childish way of doing things? I dont know.. i think we should just WATERMARK all of our images hwoever we want to, and let them steal it.

guy_in_dubai · November 27th, 2006, 01:56 PM

nice ideas...anyone got contacts in gulf news?

dubaiquote · December 6th, 2006, 11:42 PM

ok guys better start watermarking. Somtimes i think something is cool and think about using it on our blog / magazine thing but i refrain because I don't want competition for this forum or steal pics ...

I used to.

but if someone writes up a press release style statement, that could easily be formatted into an article, im sure a paper would publish it, its in there nature to look for stories, and the easier it is, often the better.

however there could be a problem if the companies advertise in the paper, as they are unlikely to alienate a source of income.

but if we hit all the papers and magzines im sure one of them wont have a clash of interests.

u should pass this to the emporis officials samir.

dubaiquote · December 21st, 2006, 06:14 PM

I might email better homes asking for clarification, as someome from the media it's not acceptable.

DUBAI · December 22nd, 2006, 12:35 AM

Anyone good at disrupting website traffic?

i think phoning them up, demanding to speak to a manager, thenaccusing them of using stolen property would be the best approach.

then demand compensation....

THE DUBAI GUYS · December 23rd, 2006, 05:30 PM
