The next steps for Miles Morgan.
As you all know, Miles Morgan is a thief, a copyright violator, and completely lacking in shame or critical self-evaluation. You can see more about that here. He has stolen the images of other photographers, meaning to emulate the composition and style of these photographers as closely as possible (a copyright violation and a violation of common courtesy). One of these photographers is Marc Adamus. Now, Marc Adamus is a coward who refuses to protect his copyright. Why? Marc sells a ton of bogus photo tours, which provide a great deal of his income. He’s afraid that if he enforces his copyright, sales of photo tours will dwindle.
Anyway, you probably know all that already. Which brings us to the Miles Morgan Ultimatum (available here). We gave Miles Morgan 10 days to remove stolen images from Getty microstock and stop selling prints on his website. Predictably, he ignored us. That’s not surprising. When push comes to shove, many of the scum we write about here quietly continue doing whatever they were doing that drew our attention, and hoping that we’ll just go away.
But we promised pain & suffering for Miles Morgan, and we intend to deliver. The main driver behind Miles Morgan’ ability to steal other peoples’ work and throw it away for pennies is his well-paying job. Now, like most assholes, Miles Morgan has no problem drawing 6 figures from his line of work, while doing everything possible to undermine someone else’s line of work. Such is hypocrisy and lack of empathy. Go try telling Miles to start working for, say, $16,000 (about 10% of what he probably earns now) a year. He’ll look at you as if you’re crazy. But he’s got no problem stealing someone else’s images and throwing them away for 10% or less of what they originally cost.
So Miles Morgan needs to lose his cushy job at United Airlines. That will deliver a solid lesson to this scum and piece of shit. It will teach him to respect other peoples’ jobs and careers. With that in mind, the next week will see new websites launched to deal with Miles Morgan and United Airlines. It’s time for the whole public to know about this imbecile.
hmmm. maybe before you start accusing others of copyright infringement simply because they've made a composition nearly identical to another photographer, perhaps you should educate yourself on copyright law.
