I hate Jason Wilder

alexharnack:

He’s such a self righteous dick.  

He takes photographs for bands during their concerts and sometimes does portraits outside of concerts.  They’re alright photos at best.  And this dick has the nerve to keep people from spreading his pictures around.  Now if I were a professional photographer, I would be flattered if people were taking my pictures and putting them on other sites because that would mean at least one person thought they were good.  Even if it did lose me a little money, I’d still like that people enjoyed them.  He almost got a girl banned from Tumblr for posting his pictures.  Maybe it is “stealing” but how the hell else are people supposed to know about a very unpopular website if you don’t let them spread it around?  People would know it was from his site because of the unnecessarily huge watermarks.  And getting someone banned for liking your shit that isn’t even that good to begin with?  Ridiculous.  

I hate Jason Wilder.

Wow. I could not disagree more. You don’t go into a bakery and steal a load of pastries so you can ‘share them with others so they can get to know them’. What is that? Stealing is stealing, and a photographer has the right to ask you not to take away his livelihood. And if you don’t respond and keep stealing, he definitely has the right to report you. Ugh, entitled fangirls are the WORST.
