Does G-G have a deal in place to use these images or are they copied and pasted from an on-line source?

And if a deal is in place, how come photographers aren't credited by name for images used? These aren't exactly shot with a phone camera.

These are from Swindon's site: www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news/article/tottenhamgallery-923028.aspx

Sometimes I forget the links.

Does G-G have a deal in place to quote a brick load of images that were pasted the page before so it takes ages to scroll through stuff you've just looked at?

No. No it does not.

i think the kit looks lovely

Please tell me that's not our new kit. It's the first time I've seen it, fudging horrible!!

Agreed. Is it a "skin tight" style or has Parker just got fatter this summer ?

Me too.

 

[THFC6061]

Me too.

The more games Spurs win playing in the kit, the more people will like it.

How come swindon are sponsored by one of the largest companies in the world?

Right-oh.

So does G-G have a publication deal with Swindon Town FC's photogs to publish their work? Without properly crediting or, heaven forfend, actually paying the photogs who took the pictures?

Or is this an act of internet theft? I shoot for a living. I have to ask. The profession's in peril.

I noticed that too. The kit looks too small and tight for all the players. Wonder if that is designed to minimise the shirt pulling. Other than that, the design doesn't look that bad.

Sorry to inconvience you, M'Lord. We're just trying to bring the readers' attention to whether the use of these images are proper or an act of pilferage.

If it's the latter, you'll have to forget you've ever seen them here. That could take you some work, by the sounds of it.

White socks would have changed that perception. Blue socks make us look fat.

Some people believe the actual act of taking a photo is an act of pilferage, taking away a part of one's soul.

A bit of my soul is taken away everytime someone quotes a brickload of pictures or massive article directly above it on here just to add a comment like "that's cool!" or "pretty sweet!"

Good luck in your war against internet piracy fella.

Allow me to grind away at your soul, spurspinter

Andre: "We had some good moments. Overall, I think a good first show from the team. We had some good chances. We're trying to build up physically, some good points to take and we won't stop working hard. We have to congratulate Swindon, they played very well including our players on loan."

Hugo: "It was a good game, its important to have time to prepare for next season and have minutes on the pitch. It's important to work hard in training but to play a game against a tough team is good for us to be ready for next season."

Are you actually quoting pictures to annoy me? Did you even read the last line of my post?

little by little...

It's not really about you, numb plums. But have a good girn, if you like.

It's the idea that some poor sod working for STFC has gone out and provided his client with quite decent quality images, expecting those images to be properly used on the Swindon site and in their editorial products. Nowhere, in any pro shooter's deal would it countenance the unauthorized use of those images on another site without proper permission or payment.

That poor photog is likely a striver hoping for better things in life and has gone out and leased a top quality camera system, like Nikon's D4 or D800, or Canon's D1X. They cost thousands of pounds. The big lenses needed to take those images cost even more. He's put himself out a bit to make these images and a visit from Spurs is probably the highlight of his season.

Now, Swindon, being the third-tier side that they are, likely haven't got the money to provide internet skills to properly protect those images from pilferage. A shame, but not the photog's fault.

Now, in the absence of any mitigating information, I can only assume our humble moderator, Jordinho, has nimbly nipped in to the Swindon site and nabbed 'em without any prior permission, posted 'em to this site and no one seems to care that an act of theft has taken place.

The poor bastard who took them originally has received nothing for the additional usage.

I take issue with that. And I hate to think they'll be doing this with Spurs own club photog's. Surely this site is better than that.

You clearly are less than that.
