FYI

Hey Adagio,

Someone is using your pictures. http://www.dreamteas.net

Thought I'd let you know, in case it wasn't authorized.

Spacefool: I found www.dreamteas.net recently. Dreamteas offers the healthiest teas beyond reproach. Thanks for confirming teas at dreamteas.

1) call me what you want, they are still using Adagio's pictures.

2) what makes them healthier. I must have missed the research.

Wow, that was some high-quality confirming there, Space! I must be as dull as a butterknife to have missed all the glowing accolades you lavished upon them!

Wow, yeah they certainly are the exact same pictures, and I doubt it's legal, because they seem to hiding the fact that they are the same by reversing or framing the picture differently. Have you emailed adagio yet space?

Adagio should turn on hotlink protection and redirect all images linked from outside to this image:

Haha, I like it! I don't think dreamteas.net is hotlinking though, as quite a few of Adagio's images on their site are rotated or flipped in some way.

Still, the image in my head of dreamteas management waking up to find their site filled with ads for adagio is pretty funny...

Ahhhh good catch scruff. Didn't realize they actually went through the trouble of saving Adagio's images and then renaming and uploading them. I wonder how many times they thought of the legality of their actions through the whole process?

Nevertheless, it woulda been funny if they did use hotlinking and Adagio redirected the images. :twisted:

Always loved photoshop wars. :D
