Update on the Marc Adamus proposal.

It has come to our attention that we have not been receiving email at our normal email address. We have set up a new, separate email address at for the Marc Adamus proposal. The deadline has been extended for an additional five days as a result of this issue. Thank you.

Our proposal to Marc Adamus


We’re sure that Marc Adamus wants to be rid of MAL 2.0, and we’ve got a deal for Marc. 

Start enforcing your copyright, and Marc Adamus LIES 2.0 will cease its operations.

Yep, you’ve heard that right. We have many issues with Marc Adamus, but by far the worst is the fact that he’s allowed various THUGS like Ryan Dyar and Miles Morgan to freely copy his images. This encourages these THUGS to go around and steal even more images from other photographers. It’s a snowball effect. There are hundreds of LOSERS on Flickr who spend their time stealing real photographers’ images and giving them away for free, taking credit for the composition, and otherwise interfering with the legitimate businesses run by legitimate photographers.
Marc Adamus LIES 2.0 simply wants what’s best for the photography industry. With that in mind, we’re willing to compromise with Marc Adamus to reach an acceptable deal for all involved. By stopping the theft of his compositions/images, Marc Adamus can undo the damage he’s encouraged. Our proposal is as follows:


Marc Adamus will:
1. Immediately write a copyright statement which is clearly posted on his website. This statement must make it clear that infringement of his copyright is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Any infringement will result in aggressive legal action.


2. Find every loser & pathetic piece of shit who has copied his images and demand that the images be removed from the web and destroyed. This is actually a pretty straightforward procedure, and entirely within his rights. We will allow 90 days for this to be resolved to 90% or better removal of infringing material. 

3. Marc Adamus cannot tolerate any infringement of his copyright, especially with statements such as “my style is immediately recognizable” available on his site for public consumption. There can be no exceptions. Pieces of crap like Floris van Breugel or Miles Morgan can’t receive exceptions.

4. These conditions are not negotiable. These are things which any serious photographer should be doing in the first place. By agreeing to enforce his copyright, Marc Adamus can show the photography industry that he’s serious about ethical operation and is committed to copyright protection and the right of photographers to protect their work from theft. 

In return, Marc Adamus LIES 2.0 will:
1. Immediately suspend operation of Marc Adamus LIES 2.0 while the 90 day period is running. A statement to the effect that an agreement is pending between MAL 2.0 and Marc Adamus will be posted as the last post on MAL 2.0 blog and on the top of the MAL 2.0 website. 

2. Once the 90 day period is over and infringing material removal has been completed to our satisfaction, the website will be shut down and removed from the Internet, and the blog will be deleted. There will be no further mention of Marc Adamus in any of our material.

3. Loserphotographers.com and associated material will continue to be maintained, with no mentions made of Marc Adamus. There are many fraudulent, stupid, and unethical THUGS out there who must continue to be exposed. In addition, every effort will be made to remove references to Marc Adamus in any past material posted on Loserphotographers.com and Blog.

We are sure that anyone will agree that these terms are perfectly reasonable, and Marc Adamus can only stand to gain by agreeing to them. Considering that Marc Adamus may be out in the field, we will allow 7 days for a response to our proposal. At the end of the 7 day period without a response, the deal will be considered void. MAL 2.0 strongly urges Marc Adamus to carefully consider this deal in relation to how he wants to be seen in the future: an ethical operator who works by the standards of legitimate photographers, or a boastful egomaniac who enables and encourages copyright theft and the destruction of the photography industry by THUGS & LOSERS like Miles Morgan and Ryan Dyar.

A hiatus for Marc Adamus LIES 2.0 while we consider an upcoming offer to Marc Adamus

A brief hiatus for Marc Adamus LIES 2.0

Our readers may have noticed that we have not posted in a little over a week. We have been considering a proposition that will be revealed by the end of this week. It will be presented to Marc Adamus, and we hope he considers it seriously. It is a way for Marc Adamus to demonstrate his commitment to a fair, ethical photography industry while preserving his own position. That is all we have to say at this time.
