Since I am new here my opinion probably doesn't mean much but my fear of submitting my picture although I completely understand why it is needed, is somehow finding my picture stolen and put on this guys website:

http://www.fatchicksinpartyhats.com/

I fear anyone taking my picture and doctoring it or exploiting it.

I now that some of these pictures look ridiculous and mine wont look THAT bad but it is still a fear that some guy will have me on his fatchick website :((

I will submit a picture of me before and after just because it is required but my suggestion is that anyone not submitting pictures can't win the end prize.. this does not mean they can't participate it just means they can't get voted on.

Anyway, that is just my two cents.

Carol

Carol, Your oppinion does matter. And if I find out that anyone is exploiting MY challengers There will be a copyright infringement lawsuit for that person to deal with ;) All images on the losers Challenge are copyrighted.
APIC (the Association for the Protection Of Internet Copyright) states "Anyone who simply puts up sites with photos they grabbed elsewhere off the Internet is most certainly infringing someone's copyrights." I suggest to you to more deeply investigate the situation. I have been to fatchicksinpartyhats.com and am certian they are infringing on hundreds of peoples rights. and if enough people complain to the correct people something may be done to end this offensive and illigal pratice. NO ISP will host his site if they believe him to be an infringer.... because of the limited liability act of 1998.

I have been wanting to regester our challenge with the copyright office to further protect our site from scavengers like those at Fatchicksinpartyhats.com. Resgstering costs $30-$100 and GARENTEES us the right to sue any infringer. If we do not regester we have to take our chances but more then likely we will win... I have been thinking about it for a while but I haven't a credit card. Its something I am working on.....

DO not be afraid to post!!!! If ANYTHING WHAT SO EVER happens to infringe on the copyrights of this site someone is going to have hell to pay ;) Worry not... I protect my challengers the best I can!!

semper fi,
IVY
