Most Recent Response to operation GET A LIFE:
my response to that would have to be 'Get your own pictures'. Its a shame that sites have to steal pictures in order make their site look like they're better or pretend to have good pictures. And if you dont agree with operation, then dont check the site. Many sites agree with it, and thats all that matters, Just because you get your pictures from Visual VS doesnt mean you can steal them and pretend their your own. Steve and I already came to an agreement, and he said that most sites that take pics from him are small, worthless sites who dont get any traffic anyways. Thats sooo hard to imagine. Well, i will be sure to post your wonderfull response, and im sure we'll get a kick out of it. Thanks for supporting 'Operation Get Your Own Pictures'..... have a great day...........

My Response:
I don't steal pictures to make my site look better. I do not boast my picture gallery as being a complete one. I'm surprised anyone even looks at it. As far as no traffic goes if I were to add up the number of hits from each counter I have had on this site, it would probably be more than the operation get your own pictures pages combined. I never claimed any of the pictures on this site were exclusively mine. I am not sorry. My condolances only go out to people who took live pictures and have never been credited, that is your work. If you have indeed taken a picture at a concert and it appears here, email me at igotnoidols@aol.com and I will credit and link accordingly. People shouldn't take these things so personally. I didn't make a website to spite anyone. A simple "that picture is mine, and i didn't give you permission to use it, could you remove it or credit me" would have been fine, instead of the condescending response i got. i'd like to remind you all that the intentions of all Veruca Salt sites are the same, to inform about Veruca Salt, and praise them. so, to all of you who disagree, GET A LIFE.

here are the following reasons operation GET A LIFE is opposed to operation get your own pictures:

1. if someone gets a picture with permission from a site, and that picture was stolen from another site, how are you to know? that's not your fault.

2. if you put a picture up you're practically asking for it to get stolen unless you plaster your name all over it. besides, if you scanned it from a magazine it's not your original work anyways.

3. people should spend more time updating their sites instead of tracking down alleged "theives".

4. if you don't want to all die virgins you'll get away from your computer and go out.

5. i know you've got a lot of bottled up anger from being stuffed in lockers and given wedgies all through high school, but that's no reason to take it all out on me.

6. you should all know that taking magazine articles or pictures and posting them at all without written consent from the magazine is illegal. so we are theives.

7. sharing is caring.

8. in conclusion go put on your acne cream, and go finish your game of magic: the gathering.
