    I agree with euri, Fuck these Earth loving hippies, trying to act all so good as if they are freaking gods while forgetting ethics and the law of man. Bloggers Rule! Media overhypes everything.

    Fuck earth day Hail Alodia! Hail Abundo!

    Euri, I never said about them not committing copyright infringement, whatsoever. i said “as you posted, the organizers did try to rectify the ‘mistake’ by offering some deal to the other party.. just that, they didnt see eye to eye.” i even acknowledged the error on their part. I have photos myself, so I know how it feels, but Im saying — suggesting that people learn to give and forgive.

    By the way, I really appreciate Abundo Supporter’s colorful language. Thank you very much.

    “But sometimes, for a larger cause, like the environment, why not try to make amends and just let the organizers borrow the photo since it’s already there. Sometimes, let’s try to be selfless and look at things on a positive angle.”

    It’s scary how these people think.

    Abundo Supporter,
    LOL! Hinay-hinay lang. Wag mong masyadong dibdibin ang mga bagay-bagay. ^^;

    iva,
    I do understand you side though. But as of this moment, while the wound is still fresh with people, it wont really get through. At least, ihmo. But that would be a good thought. Only if things cools down a bit. ^^;

    “Afterall, the photographer and the model concerned already gained more than had lou and toto paid them.”

    They haven’t responded to our demand letter yet. No credit. No compensation for the damage that has been done.
