I understand that they are few fotolog ex-staffs are on the flickr team!!

Well even before Mar 4th, 2007 I start to post Artsy nudes to conduct study & research about view rates.

But I was suspended & NIPSA.

So there is not much difference rights??

You need to be in the book of The flickr god & evils, then you would be OK!!

That means that in the good book.

I did the research, all major search engines their revenue are from Porn & Sex sites.

So that is the truth of the whole truth that only the emperor & king is in control.!!

I s lots of hard works.

Our resources, our times, energy.... is lots of monetary terms involved while helpping Yahoo-flickr to have contents for their members!!

We are not getting our ROI.

Just attended the Search engine university on ROI of cost per click.

Some of the cost per click are over $127 you see that.

Even for me to click on the member's here, there is the cost on each & it is on us, they become rich!!

So porn site paid as high as $30.00 per click to the search engine.

Now you see that our work are invalueable & we give it for free. They make their money, we get stab & kill.

This is the world of Digital Divided, Have & Have Not!!

Internet world is control by medias.

Medias Giants would make love & we suffer!!

Medias Giants at War we suffer too!!

But as the creator's of contents it cannot be always living in poverty.

That is the reason I said:

Change is A constant!!

All would return to emptiness!!

Yahoo China Loses Music Piracy Case
By JOE McDONALD 04.24.07, 10:16 PM ET

Popular Videos

A court has ruled against Yahoo Inc.'s China arm in a lawsuit that accused it of aiding music piracy, the company and a music industry group said Tuesday.

The ruling came amid U.S. pressure for Beijing to stop rampant copying of music and other goods.

The lawsuit filed by the International Federation of Phonographic Industries accused Yahoo (nasdaq: YHOO - news - people ) China of violating copyrights because its search engine linked to sites that carried 229 pirated songs. It was filed on behalf of 11 recording companies including Sony (nyse: SNE - news - people ) BMG, Warner Music, EMI (other-otc: EMIPY.PK - news - people ) and Universal Vivendi.

"We're very pleased with the outcome," said Leong May Seey, Asia regional director for the federation. "We think it is a step in the right direction in creating a legitimate online music service in China."

The ruling Monday by the No. 2 Intermediate People's Court ordered Yahoo China to pay 210,000 yuan ($27,000) in damages, the official Xinhua News Agency said. Court employees declined to confirm the report or release any other information.

Leong said she did not know the exact damages awarded but said they appeared to be well below the 5.5 million yuan ($700,000) sought.

"We are considering our options with the damages, whether we will appeal or not," Leong said.

Yahoo China said it would appeal and stressed its respect for intellectual property rights.

"We will appeal this decision because we believe Yahoo China's music search service both meets and exceeds the relevant legal standards for intellectual property protection," a company statement said. "An important principle is at stake in this case - search engine operators should not be held liable for content posted on third-party Web sites."

Yahoo China is operated by Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yahoo's local partner, Alibaba.com, China's biggest online commerce site.

The IFPI filed a similar lawsuit last year against China's most popular search engine, Baidu.com (nasdaq: BIDU - news - people ) Inc. A court ruled in Baidu's favor in November. The IFPI is appealing.

Leong said the IFPI has filed administrative complaints with the Chinese government against other music-linking services and might pursue more lawsuits.

"We will be taking further action in other cases," she said.

China is the world's biggest sources of illegally copied products ranging from Hollywood movies and designer clothing to sporting goods and medications.

Beijing has increased penalties for product pirates and launched repeated crackdowns. But illegally copied music, software, designer handbags and other goods are widely available.

Seems a consenting adult section is needed. Some things interest me, some don't, but it should be my decision to check it out, or not. No one forced me to read your work, I did because I wanted to. I can see kids need to be weeded out....but to just flip the switch, pull the cord, kill the site for politics, or whatever reason is one sided censorship.

Now if you were writing about say, Yahoo, which owns Flickr, and there stance on censorship concerning the State censorship on the internet, as in China, and such, and their lust for the almighty yen in the Chinese market, bet you'd been shut down a lot sooner. Flicker ain't no democracy. Then...what izit????

I will miss the freedom of speech Gail, and freedom of thought, and ones indivdual aspect of beauty and interests. You put a lot of work into this Flickr thing. I need to back my shit up. Not that it tests the proprietors censorship, but where does this stop? If they don't like ya...they terminate yer account?

I am so sorry Gail and you know how many of us spent countless hours debating each other. We all know there is no real Freedom of Speech in the US or elsewhere just an illusion of it.

Anyway, Your followers are loyal and will find you have no fear and I do hope you somehow kept track of all your contacts?

First of all, I do lament to loss of your site, but you have to remember that flickr is a business---a BIG BUSINESS---especially since the purchase by Yahoo. Freedom of speech is an essential element of the US culture and you can have all you want on your own site. As a part of the big business cog, Flickr will attempt to silence anyone with an opinion contrary to the business of making money. Doesn't matter if it's liberal or conservative, if it detracts from their business, they'll shut you down. And you know what? They have the right to do that.

That said, I will protest to Flickr because I enjoyed to debate on your site. It was rarely personal and always interesting. I come from a more conservative point of view, but I always enjoyed the views of others, whether I agreed with them or not. And I can't see how debates like this or even a few boobs would mean that Flickr's business would be threatened.

So more power to you, Gail. I am going ot spread the word once again!!!

Well if Flickr is going to censor everyone's discourse and art based on their profit model its probably a good idea to get that information out to the public so they can decide as to the future of Flcikr.

Also I would point out your telephone company does not delete your phone conversations now does it, and blogger is owned by Google and does not engage in this kind of behaviour.

I am outraged! I suspect it was he politics. Though our American government is also decidedly anti-tit.. Fuckr is not the only one cowering before an inflated, paranoid government.

You are not the only one being censored Gail. There is something rotten going on. For the second time in two years my Gmail password has been reset - that was today! I couldn't log on to get my email! In my case it's most probably the US government. They have investigated me before by tapping my email, changing the passcode on my phone - twice! - and Homeland Security under the guise of the FBI even investigated me once for something I had written.

We no longer live in a free society. Our rights are being eroded on a daily basis. "Free speech" has become an antiquated catch phrase. Personally, I don't mind speaking up. I wouldn't mind going to prison for it.

Flickr was once a bastion for free speech. It has since been purchased by a huge conglomerate that no longer respects anything more than its bottom line. "Don't make waves" seems to be the phrase of the day.

Disgraceful!

I don't think it was the politics at all. I'm very sure it was the breasts. Americans are, in general, terribly puritanical and repressed. Tits scare the hell out of most Americans. While we've a tendency to talk tough about terrorism, an exposed nipple sends us screaming in terror.

The fear of sexuality is even more intense when it comes to American businesses. Oh no! Somebody posted a photo that shows a bare breast on the Internet using our company's servers! Oh, goodness! What are we ever to do?

American companies are complete fucking COWARDS about sexuality. Seriously, utter pussies. They're terrified of mammary glands and natural human reproductive systems.

'Cos, you know, mammary glands are such a huge threat, right?

Flickr is dedicated to winning the War On Genitalia.

I have been enjoying your photo postings. I am sorry you were deleted, Ms. Orenstein. My understanding of the policy is that you must tag your stuff if it has content so it cannot be seen by those who have left their filters up. If you do not tag after being asked to, you are nipsa'd, which means all your work is tagged to be filtered, regardless of content. So, did you tag? If not, why weren't you just nipsa'd? This is the first I've heard of someone being deleted.

I am Sorry Gail.

These should not happen.

Perhaps again "The System Issues"!!

Look just after Sept 25, 2005 my account have been re-instated after 20 hours of suspension. Because I have too many contacts within 5 months!!

Call me a liar!! the gangsters using FXXX to me & my daughter; openly said there is no human rights for me, no freedom; no respect of individual; they vote me out!! There is not demoncracy for me......

I swallow.... Then my account continue to be NIPSA , I not even aware of such term till Mar 8, Billy told me about the term.

But I did get feedback from contacts & friends that they cannot search for me on flickr & my contacts have been deleted by the "System".

Mar 4th , 2007 is the 1st time I use Artsy Nudes & is is a sihoulette of the back of the pic, but I am served a warning email saying I post frontal Nudes & expose genital.....

I have been grown up in the Ironman hand from baby time, when I return to Asia, my artsy nudes books were confiscated at the custom,
Even I appeal to the Minister of Art & his boss - the Ironman , I still cannot get back the manuals. As the custom officers already cover their track.

Although as a American now, I am still live my the habbits & fear, also the principle of against porn & exposing genital part taking a deep roots into me. Therefore, I have not post such pics on the internet nor promoting otherwise.

So the culture & facts is clear & deep in the conscious & sub-conscious mind!!

One thing I am sure the Legend Guru Said:

If one going to find a bone in a Tofu, it can be done so!!

Another saying is:

Hatred is Created by person.

There is a Loaner & There is a Borrower.

So once you understand the wisdom then you understand that the real reason & the being behind.

In the contacts of here, we are just a sub-domain under the provider of the services.

The events happening is just a nature of Gurus' wisdom revisited in our life time.

We shall be re-examing ourself & the future like the water than the rock!!

May I qoute Lao Zi Say:

The most Peaceful & honest things is Water!!

My apologist for saying to much here & I am sorry about the situation we are in!!

Peace...Peace....Peace........

Looking at this pic, from my inner soul. It tells me that this deceased person is not dying on the natural cause!!

Perhaps, the System God felt that this is a great post to tell & show the netcitizen, as the old Chinese proverd by the Empoeror said:



Those who with me would be alive!!

Those who against Me Would receive The same faith!!



That is just in time for the entrance to the Chinese Market. However, it have been carry out in the homeland for over 2 years already.

Eventhough a person is helpping for the good cause but not in their camp!!

As the western saying, those who hold the key make the rules!!

On the light side & philosophical; perhaps is encouraging people to practise Gotama saying:


Birth is Suffering!!

Death is A transition To the New Birth!!

Birth follows By Death!!

Death follows By Birth!!


But in this place , a new born baby already commited sin because of the Medical doctors & health authority is promoting Breast feeding!!

Imperialism still rules.

Only the Emperor can have 3 palaces, 72 colleges & 7,200 most pretty women in the Nation & have fun & XXX. These have been recorded in the Chinese & Indian history!! I need not to say further.

Imperialism still Alives!!

CharlieBrown8989's Most Interesting Images for 21 Months On flickr

The following Image Explain About the View Rates"

CharlieBrown8989's Most Viewed Images for 24 Months On flickr


As I understand, China have their own filtering system on the Net. Nudes Art is not block in China. Pornographies Yes, is illegal, the offender can be sentence to death as I believe. If an US or European Union based company have been enlisted by China to work on the security & filtering system for China.

Alibaba is controling over the Yahoo China, in outside of China, it is not under the juridiction of China to Control over the Internet sensorship or news media security issue.

(China as a giant, they know that. China would never want to behave a giant bully a minor like what is happening here. It is also not their Culture & Moral value, For what I understand during my various talk at all level on Internet issue they said they have enough issues to work out then eating other people food!! or step into other foots!!)

If a foreigner or foreign company have been enlisted by China to work on the China interest,

Then that would be the interest of the US State Dept & Cocom to investigate & enforce the Nation & Home Land security of this nation.

The whole truth is on here, even you set it to Safe:off, the Systems team still can & have the authority to set in to whatever classification they like!!

I have contacts from all over including the free world that they cannot search for me on flickr search. Contatcs have written to flickr on these. But so what?? This is not new. These have been happening far before I conduct my research & study on Artsy Nudes on here say 6 weeks ago!!

The facts & truth is clear that the imperialism still rules!!

The following is my comments on the above:

I received warning again today.

Threadthen to terminate or delete my account.

All the Hardworks for the last 2 years is gone.

I have been very loyal & ahered to the Term & Conditions of the Yahoo - flickr.

What "Frontal Nudity" is not allowed??. During my research on the Views rate on flickr - Yahoo. I found many accounts are actually exposed Genital Parts & also with Sexual Porn post.

If you examing my site, you would discovered that the whole truth of these friendly "Warning" & Advise.

It is certainly on a personal whim, on profiling, oppression, discrimination, dis-respect of individual customers.

The rights of Artists have been abuse & suppressed.

This clearly exhibited the high handed Power - Political play in between of Client - Customers relationship. It as well exhibited the traditional Imperialism & Religion "God" controls of the pre-demoncracies of this era.

USA constitutions & International Human rights are abused & oppressed by some!!

We put our resources & times, energy to support the members here. While not making any income for ourself , yet get all these bully & harassement.

Are we insane!!

What talking about pioneer of Web 2.0?? Image sharing ?? All these what we do are for the benefits of Yahoo - flickr. Yet these are what we deserving??

In the land of freedom & demoncracy, & while we are doing the law & constitutions of this great Nation. It still have the people or team could rise above it.

This is unbelievable!!

Talking about China.

As on Dec 31 2006, China net citizen already surpassed USA. Become number one in the world on internet.

I have been traveling China & talking to people on the "Have & Have Not" issues on Digital & internet. That includes all level .

To China Jerry Yang may be the founder of Yahoo, but it does not concern them as Jerry is from Taiwan & now believe is US citizen.

Whereas, Alibaba is the local brew corp. & If it is not supported by the China Gov back finance, then Alibaba cannot reverse took over Yahoo China.

Alibaba still is within the China Local Government & Laws or even the Charter that put them to be a giant corp.

China Gov more concern about the subversive anti-Government site then Artists site. As there is already a Government Admin together with the Central committees to govern the National Arts & non political movement as well as religions afairs.

The Government have all along against the Porn "Yellow - Grey Culture" from the Imperials Gov era till now.

However, Artistic Nudes of Nature & female have not been under any oppression or suppression.

My Late Guru from Shanghai was sent by Gov to France to learn all aspect of Arts. & he is a pioneer of Chinese Nudity Artist of the Modern time.

If you care to examing the Nudity arts in China.

The authenticated 10 most beautiful ladies of China each is trading over few 10millions in US$$$$.

What China Gov. censoring is any site that suspect with the subversive activities against the interest of their Nations & people republic, also the religious groups that with some ulterior motive to cause insergencies of their Nations. The other is the Pornographies articles.

Other then that Nudity Art is allowed, there was once I read the news coverage on the Nude body painting arts competitions in Nanking & Sichuan. which have over 1X,XXX people attended. there is no riots or unhappy incidents then.

Therefore, any actions as it show prove that is on the whim of certain people or the God of the System.

I sincerely hope that everyone can think more deep & far.

China would have their own censorship system without calling a USA base corp to help. After all that is their Nation.

Whatever happen here is still out Not China Concern.
