So idk if others have noticed this before – but it’s the first time I’m seeing this, hence the post.

There’s a website, https://www.photosugar.com, which apparently mirrors all pictures, gifsets etc. people post on their tumblrs (and also other social media sites like twitter and instagram, if I understand it correctly).

An eample for a tumblr user, with my name:

https://www.photosugar.com/tu/lordhellebore

Now it won‘t turn up anything but a 404 error in my case, because I sent an e-mail to the contact address, which is darius@photosugar.com with the title “My content on your website”:

Hello,

it’s come to my attention that you are mirroring all of the posts containing
pictures/gifs that I post on my tumblr. I am asking you to stop pulling the content from my tumblr and to
delete me from your website.

tumblr username is „lordhellebore“

Thank you.

I got a reply consisting of the single word “removed” after just one day, and as you can see, it worked perfectly fine with the informal mail I sent. So if you want them to stop mirroring your tumblr, it seems all you really need to to is this.  

I can’t test the site for all of my mutuals, but I’m tagging a few whom I found on there by random trial & error, and I suggest you look yourself up if you see this post and dislike tumblr mirrors (even if this one is only for pictures, not text).

@janiedean, @ladytp, @vaysh11, @lunavagantt, @einemelodieimwind, @robb-greyjoy, @youbuggingme, @ysilme, @rex-luscus, @bai-xue, @viendiletto, @electricalice, @contessa-de-leusse, @memetic-mutism, @bluecichlid, @mrs-storm-andrews, @ladymothwing, @prismatic-bell, @kittykatknits, @tinkili

….basically, whomever I’m trying at random, it seems that you’re on there.

 Please reblog so others can know and ask for removal if they want to.

My blog appears there. Don’t want to. Will mail asap.

EDIT : They’ve added a link to remove people’s profiles : https://www.photosugar.com/remove

Wtf. I was on there. Easy to remove.

That is pretty creepy

Holey mother of cheese.

This is not fair use, y’all. Everything you post is copyright you, and tumblr’s rights to it are spelled out in the policy we all agreed to without reading when we signed up. These people are just yanking your photo posts (including your reblogs) and publishing them in a modified format without even notifying you, for whatever purpose – some way of making money off our labor, I guess.

I think the worst part was showing even the last likes… For God sake, I use tumblr just forSim-related stuff, bu what if I’d like to post a pic of myself?

Removed myself, they could at least ask for permission, before doing something like that.

I just removed my profile. That was creepy!

Signal boost! I was on there too, and by Sena, Do Not Want.

Just removed myself, so weird. I wasn’t expecting a sims blog like mine to be copied onto anything.

Check your blog names

I was on there, heads up

I just removed mine. Thanks so much!

Well, I’ve @’ed a bunch of people now (including some who AREN’T mutuals!) and some of you guys have a lot of followers so please reblog this so that more people can see this and take action! This is ridiculous and really creepy!

On the one hand, I suppose I should be relieved that it wasn’t my text posts (i.e., the posts about my fics and my original novel), but this is still incredibly vexing after the time and effort I’ve put into my gifs and photosets.  Thanks for the heads-up, Sky!
