MORE BRITNEY!

BSpears101506_12.jpg

For all you right-clickers out there, the fans know to come to the Source first! Seems our pix are so popular, people just can't stop themselves from posting them on their own sites, even though it's a no-no.

BSpears101506_9.jpg

Okay -- I'm on my soapbox, so here I go .... our photographers worked for five weeks, night and day to get these pix of Britney so we can bring them to YOU, here on X17online.com and so we can MAKE MONEY selling them to magazines. Don't forget, people, we're not a charity! When other blogs take our images against our will, it devalues the images and pisses off our clients. Contrary to what some big-headed, faux blonde-haired bloggers think, them posting our images DOES NOT help our sales. And check it out, blogging used to be something fans did for fun -- look at how much some people are making these days, stealing other people's images and writing cute little blurbs about them:

Create ad / PerezHilton.com: Ads at top right column
Ad format
Hi-Rise
Duration
The term for which the Ad will run
3 months
Price
$130000.0
Image
Max: 150 X 600 pixels and 35KB gif or jpg

And after using our images for free for years, check out what this ungrateful right-clicker emailed to me a couple hours ago after I ordered him to remove our pix from his site or face legal notice from our attorneys:

Don't threaten me bitch. I'm not scared!
I would have gladly put up a link to your site but you had to get all nasty.

Instead of wanting to have me as a friend or an ally you choose to be
a cunt! CUNT! And I don't wanna work with cunts. And liars. And
unethical people. And that's what you are!

You've tried to fuck me over. And you've only fucked yourself over.

We wish this blogger lots of luck -- I'm sure having stories like a "Fergie Is The New Beyonce" will do wonders for his traffic.

Okay -- off the soapbox -- back to business. Britney rocks!

Well, I found your site after seeing an image on Perez's with your "x17online.com" printed on it. He may be sending traffic your way. Can't we just all get along?

Why don't you just disable the right click?

i came to this site after viewing them on perez

I'll put them up on my page right now!!! U gonna sue me tooo??? U guys need to get serious.

sorry, have to admit too - I found your site after reading Perez..hate him all you want, but it's pretty obvious he's sending traffic your way....

Lol! Perez is sooo funny! He's not afraid to snap at anyone!

Perez is UGLY!

I love going to Perez's site and your site too and if you asked kindly to have them removed, he should. Good luck!

Posted by: Talise


Oh, x17 is my favorite for these new Brit photos! Seriously, Britney is gorgeous.

About the whole photo situation...x17 should stand its ground, you worked hard for it, you deserve to have it...etcetera. And as for that e-mail you recieved, anyone who takes such a nasty tone with anyone is horrid. I mean, that guy's site, I am reluctant to say that I have been there and it's horrid, he has some serious bad karma, it's in general like being in the head of an envious twelve year old. I mean, the people that visit his site must be the likes of illiterate, immature MTV vievers who actually use the words 'Sexy back' in everything and think its cool.

x17 is classy and fab.

Posted by: Lover


I found you off Perez too! Dont hate on Perez, he's helping you - duh?

Posted by: ya


While I appreciate your cause and do think that Perez's email was PARTICULARLY vulgar and a little too nasty... I was referred to your site from his.

Posted by: Me too


Funny! But Perez shouldn't get so snappy. He infact is breaking laws by publishing photos that don't belong to him. I say take him to court. x17 will win hands down for copyright infringement.
And if anyone called me the c-word I would tear there balls off!

I also learned of your website from perezhilton.com. But when you work so hard and this is your way of making money.....

I have to say... Perez led me to x17 also. lol Perez is so cute and funny! Never scared!

Did you guys know that X17 has a convincted sex offender on their staff? True info.

I have to say... Perez led me to x17 also. lol Perez is so cute and funny! Never scared!

She bottle feeds formula to her newborn, has a nanny and had a tummy tuck and lipo after she gave birth.

Yeah, I'm really impressed.

She should've bought a breast lift and a bra while she was at it.

Posted by: Anonymous


suggestion: post the pics on the net AFTER you have cashed your cheque. otherwise as long as they are "sourced" and credited they are fair game.

Posted by: l


I don't want the nasty commenters here, people making vulgar comments about her breast, rumors, etcetera. I feel like those people should go to sites that condone that sort of thing. If I'm not "feeling" something, then I just don't comment. Saying rude things is bad karma and ridiculous. I am probably just going to have to ignore it but it's pathetic, tabloids, rude bloggers, say something nice or shut up.

x17 is classy, take that "a source said" stuff somewhere else.

Posted by: Lover


I have to tell you that I would not have ever found your site without PerezHilton.com. I saw your web address printed on a photo, so then I looked you up. You might want to give the guy a break. Oh, and by the way, Britney looks great!

Posted by: Anonymous


lmao. Yeah, i hate Perez too. Hes such a pathetic dumba$$. The people that post on his site all make fun of him. Also, he is soooo fugly. He needs to grow up. I love how you told him he can't use the pics. it'd be even funnier if you sued him!!!! Please please please do it. I know that this will bring joy to many many others. He steals a lot of things from your site. Finally set him straight!

Posted by: t


Can't stand Perez...
Sue his RICH butt!!! Send him back to his McDonalds job.

Great pics, she looks great, hopefully she didn't do too much damage to her body trying to come back too quick after childbirth. It's sad she feels the pressure to be 100% perfect so quick, while her husband is out being, uh, shall we say not-so-perfect!

I have to say... Perez led me to x17 also. lol Perez is so cute and funny! Never scared!

I found you by other sites, but I have to say that I go to yours first now. I don't like Perez, he is too full of himself, and thinks we want to see pictures of HIM and where he gets his clothes...he is just nasty....I hope you nail him to the wall...you guys rock!

Posted by: Valerie


I found you by way of Perez too. Can't you guys just grow up?

Posted by: Marie


You all have great pictures and it seems that others should respect your stance. I personally don't do Perez site because he is a phony. It's well known that Paris has him in her pocket, thus no negative Paris coverage EVER

ya, i found your site by seeing your pics on another site. so shove that soapbox up your ass. thats the way life is so don't be bitchy slutwhores. oh, by the way, Britney is UGLY.

So funny. Its all legal, it all makes sense. But maybe if you dont want people to steal them you should do some encrypting. it would help. or just make thumbnails available to other blogs???

Perez is a fat ugly slob that likes to degrade others more successful than he will ever be. I guess hiding behind his computer is the only way for him to enjoy the life he doesn't have but so badly pretends to be a part of-

Posted by: Zack_2tone


So the consensus is bloggers do send you traffic and your site wouldn't have the rank it has now had it not been for bloggers. Plus, they are respecting you by using your tagged images which is just another big billboard for you. If no site uses your tagged images, then where would you be? Stuck in blog limbo land like thousands of others. I don't know what makes you think you don't get traffic from sites like perezhilton even though he's a little bitch. Hopefully you guys aren't ignorant to how the web works. I suggest stepping back and analyzing the situation because in the end it all benefits you.

Posted by: what


I too found X17 by way of PH and always thought it pretty cool that y'all 'allowed' him to use your images on his site. Pretty soon I realized that nearly ALL of his photos came from you so I began to by-pass him and come 'to the source' instead. Came here this morning and saw the Brit pics (bravo btw), then headed over there to see if he'd posted them and DOH! Sure enough they were there but...what's this?...no X17 tag on these ones....errrg?

Now I know why and will NEVER waste my trolling time on HIS site again.

Keep up the good work, X17!

Posted by: Jenzy


AGREEED...i didnt find out about this website until AFTER looking at perezhilton , so do take notice...he HAS given you volume.

Us Weekly tells Perez Hilton to steal your pictures to de-value them on the print market. That's the real truth, but no one will tell you!

I think dlisted is using them too.

He's still using your pics, but he's posting them using a link from photobucket and there is no tag on them, either.

wow. "who is the best celebrity stalker?" is this serious? get a fucking life. you are both pathetic. you are the reason 12 year old girls stick their fingers down their throats. i hope you both go to hell.

I can't believe that idiot makes that kind of money considering he steals everything from other places. I guess you gotta love the internets.

Posted by: wtf


I wish people would stop going to Perez's site so he'd stop having so much "power."

I had no idea he made so much money by being such a scam artist... although I did totally know what a douche-bag he is.

Posted by: Milla


PEREZ IS PISSED!!!!! YOU BUSTED HIM OUT ON STEALING YOUR PICS! HE'S TRASH TALKING X17'S CREDIBILITY ON A POST ABOUT LINDSEY LOHAN AND RUMOR WILLIS!! HE BANNED A LOT OF US FOR RIPPING ON HIM AND ERASED OUR COMMENTS! AND IT WASN;T 17 MINUTES... IT WAS A LONG TIME BEFORE HE HAD THOSE PICS UP BEACSUE SUPPOSEDLY HIS SITE WAS HAVING TROUBLE! PEREZ SUCKS!!!!!!

Posted by: HUH!


Who cares if ass wipe Perez referred people to this site? How about that this ego F*CK called this woman a C*nt?? He thinks he is above everyone and he is not. He is a pathetic Starf*cker who can't write for shit!

Posted by: lilly


Ya'll are a bunch of jackasses. Of COURSE you found this site from Perez's because HE STEALS ALL THEIR PHOTOS - HELLO!?

I personally found it via People.com who actually DOES give credit for the photos they use (and/or actually PAYS for them).

WAKE UP, IDIOTS!

Posted by: Bec


I'm a rebel. I found this through wwtdd.com so much better than perez.

Posted by: lol


That moron wanna be celerity Pretzel, the supidity level he got to it's amazing. It must've worn off on him from Herpes Paris. Take his ass down, he would have taken you out, you better believe it. He always "borrows" for everywhere without giving credit to anyone. If that's the way he wants to play, you boys oughta teach him a lesson. His jacked up cuban ass makes a lot of money from being a little stealing bitch.He sits down at some coffee place( like he nees to) when other people are on foot or driving around for some shots that they hope to make money off. The irony of talking about Beyonce stealing from everyone else, what the crap is he doing? He thinks he's a freakin' celebrity or som'. His fagg-e-d cuban overweight ass who needs to be a little more humble and watch his freakin' language or people are gonna pound his ass, and not in a good way.
Perez sucks, not in a good way, again.
Peace out, little haters.

Posted by: wanna tell you


X17 originally posted these pics at 10:05 PST. Fagg-E-P posted them at 10:22 PST. Thus, 17 mins it took for him to steal them. Look at the time stamps. Thankyouverymuch.

Posted by: Anonymous


To all you folks thinking this perez/x17 is some issue. Realize that perez gets more than double the traffic of x17. Also realize he used to use tagged photos and sometimes links. And what happens when his millions of users click on the link or go to the address in the photo. They see this site as the source. Now tell me that's not free advertising right there. If x17 could ever learn to monetize traffic, then there are obvious benefits. More than their fruitless witch-hunt would ever bring.

Posted by: uh huh


I found you through Perez, too. I also see your photos on other sites, too and thought you didn't mind as long as your watermark was on them.....thought it brought you traffic????????

Posted by: shari


blahh sooo lame! I never even heard of this site until i saw it on Perez. please!!!!! get over yourselves.

Posted by: Patrick


I found you site also from going to PerezHilton!

Posted by: Austin


The only reason X17 had anything to say about these Brit pics, today in particular, was because THIS time, Perez posted them on his site without the watermark. Perez done fucked up and got called out, and then threw a fit.

I'd like to see X17's original letter to him though that caused him to react in a manner my 11 year old daughter wouldn't even do. That will help me make a more informed decision on WHO TO HATE MORE!

if it wasn't for perez X17 would be nothing so stop fucken hateing

It is funny how Perez getting mad at this site is actually helping this site. I never heard of x17 until today on Perez site and now Im hooked. Keep up the good work!

PEREZ DOUCHE BAG

Posted by: Anonymous


I found out about this site from Perez too, but I still think he should give credit where it is due. Its obvious Perez is to busy trying to be a celebrity himself to go out & get his own candid pictures so he should give credit. X17 asked that blogs only post one picture on their sites, what's so hard about respecting that request? Then both sides would win.

Posted by: Ebony


wow let's all get along. personally I enjoy reading this site more than Perez. That site is full of hatred. And I believe that there shouldn't be any problem as long as other bloggers are hotlinking you, like what I'm doing.

BTW, Let Perez enjoy his 15 minutes of fame. I know you guys from x17online works really hard just to provide us these wonderful pictures. I also think that you did Perez a favor letting him borrow from your site. Thanks!

Posted by: intoGOSSIP


I hope you understand the best way to make these blogs more popular is by drawing attention to them the way you have. Bad press is good press. Whether you sue them or write posts about how much they bother you, you're only sending them hits and making them more popular.

Page Six suing Perez Hilton was the best thing that ever happened to him.

She is the most overrated pop singers in the history of pop! This fake ugly cow can't even hold a note, and she is the reigning poster child of plastic surgery,she had a nosejob, two tummy tucks and God knows what else she had done! She is all over celebrity plastic surgery.com!

Perez is such a child.

Your photos are your property and nobody has the right to use them without your permission. Go and teach this child a lesson.

Chickadee you have been reading too much Star, and that's not a good thing. You need to leave Britney alone. If you don't like her fine. But don't come here and then spew your hatred. If you hate her so much why do you comment on her? Oh yeah because she's interesting and you wanted to see what she looks like after having two kids. Face it haters Britney is back and is going to be the best just like always. There is a void in the music industry. Only Britney can fill that void.

Posted by: Mandy


Paparazzi are the lowest form of scum. Why should anybody respect you guys? You all look pathetic crowding around the "Celebrity" trying to get the money shot. Where is your dignity, people?! And you get SOO much money for one crappy picture and you still wear your stupid khaki shorts and your white t-shirts and your baseball hats and really, ya'll need to lose weight. Perez just sits on his even fatter ass and right click > save picture as and put them on his lame site and puts his even lamer comments on the picture and rolls in the dough. I'm a little drunk so this is probably incoherent. ANYWAYZ - sue his big fat ass and all the bloggers making $100k doing absolutely NOTHING! Team x17! I'll be first in line to buy those shirts at Kitson! PEACE OUT HOMIES!

who cares about the battle...viewers to these sites don't care where the pix came from.
What i do care about is the sleazy way you shot misha's butt etc. that was an extremely low angle shot. no one walking past her would see "it" that way. from where i sit, that's scum!

About damn time. I have known about X17 for a looong time. People have traded out passwords and tricks to get pictures etc, I thought to myself wow finally about time they made their own blog. Considering the amount of people that rip this site off. I personally hate perez's blog, he doesn't do any real work and he blogs about nobodies... who the fuck is jordan and why does he always post about her? Perez is a hoe. please take him to court or something... or can't someone pay someone to hack his blog? it's about damn time god. and x17 im with you for bithcing at the blogs for stealing your pics and making mad money from it. not cool. a text link credit is not good enough. they should learn to see it and leave it.

You guys have no right to take the high road. You harass everyone on earth even the bloggers now. Sad thing is I would never have found your site if it wasn't for the blogging sites such as D-listed and many others. They just put a funny spin and all this crazyness.

You guys should not be such jerks by posting that letter, you guys are just as bad.

Posted by: Anonymous


Bottom line is: what Perez Hilton is doing is illegal, and he should be sued. And, he states that he "would have gladly put a link to this website but you had to get all nasty..." well, obviously he never intended to use links in the first place, or he would have just done it. I have no respect for the man after reading this. He's wrong and he should apologize.

Posted by: Vicki


You can't sell a ads so you trash a blog that can? You guys constantly spam and harass other bloggers. You behave like Internet bullies and you're offended when one of those bloggers finally snaps back at you?

Start thanking the sites who linked to you and helped you with your Alexa ranking instead of biting the hands that feed you.

Posted by: Anonymous


I only came here because I saw one of your pics on perez' and pink is the new blog. So i'd think twice before you say that them using your pics doesnt help your traffic.

;O)

Posted by: bg


The fact is, whether the paps are sleazy or not, this is how they make a living, and the photos are their property. Perez did not ask for use of the photos, and did not credit the source: this is just wrong. However X17 requested that he remove the pictures, he certainly could have taken a higher road in responding. He was just SO juvenile and petty, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

And as an aside, however any of us got to this page (yes, I, too found it through Perez), I am assuming that very very few of us are buying pictures from X17. What kind of advertising is that? It doesn't help them for bloggers to link here as they aren't making any money from us. The people who buy the pictures are most likely from the celeb weekly mags. If everyone has already seen all of the pictures, who is going to by them? The weeklies are going to go to other agencies with less-seen pics to make their pubs fresher and more intersting.

I can't explain the logic behind X17 having their own blog, but I understand why they wouldn't want to have there pictures seen everywhere without them having been paid for...

is'nt kind of rich that an agency that makes $$$$$ off of ripping off it's photographers...paying them peanuts and then selling the pix that they give for much higher prices and never letting them see either a copyright royality or a sales report would get pissed off cause some roly poly Cuban shirtlifter posted some pix of Britney Spears.....Just becuase you guys had been waiting for days to invade the womans privacy cause the rest of your fucking crew was too busy harrassing familes at a pumpkin patch....

I am truly afraid that a lot of the truly vile comments that are so common on Perez will now appear on this site. I have given up on that site because of it. People please leave it there and don't do this. By the way this is a business, what is the problem can't you see that you cannot steal someone elses product. Get real people.

Posted by: justthefacts


Why just slag off Perez? There's tons of other sites out there using these images (Teddy and Moos to name just one!). Leave Perez alone - he is down with the media and gets the type of PR you can only dream of!

Posted by: Ricky Vegas


Um...I found your site b/c of Perez too. Could you get over yourself? You guys are all in the same business. Acting like a fool and pointing him out to even more people to check out his website doesn't hurt him idiot. Any press is good press. You should have learned that in Journalism 101. If you want to get jammed up over him writing you in a tone that you didn't agree with, that's one thing. But my God, you people are gossip mongers. It's not like you work at the Vatican.

Posted by: ash


Perez doesnt give credit to where credit is due. He needs to respect other people. Other sites give credit and only use one picture. If he simply referenced this site then all would be good. But he has repeatedly stolen from this site with out so much as a mention. I knew of this site before i knew of Perez. And have much more respect for this site. Perez deletes comments now that make fun of him because there are soo many.

Posted by: P


Do you people not know that after birth, the stomach goes down? Unless, she's fat. Britney NEVER was fat. There is no way a woman can have a tummy tuck, or lipo shortly after giving birth. Grow up.

Posted by: India


I also found your website through Perez.

Posted by: KP


India, after birth, especially after a C-section (2 in Britney's case) the stomach does not "go down" for a while. The uterus shrinks quicker if you breast feed, but Britney doesn't breast feed. It's very common for egomaniacal, immature, selfish celebrities like Britney to get tummy tucks right after C-sections.

Stop being a delusional fan-girl and "grow up" yourself.

It looks like for every supporter of x17 which is probably their staff member, there about 30 supporters of other blogs. And to that one person that doesn't get why x17 started a blog they probably don't understand the term cpm either. Congratulations, neither does x17. I could go on and on, but you guys obviously don't get it. X17 is sitting on a goldmine built by bloggers linking to them. If I was x17, I'd start developing a new business model because there's no stopping everybody on the internet.

You people ever wonder why x17 let people use tagged pics in the first place? Look at their alexa ranking. So the obvious next step once they get big enough is to stop everyone from using it. It's the shittiest business strategy every devised. They didn't even think that no one will by blogads to their shitty site. I hope every blog reader boycotts their site and pictures and let x17 see how much they need them.

Learn your fucking field before you do business in it people and don't get pissed off because you failed.

And if you want to compare ad stats, check out x17's blogad prices. Same high rise is $4,600 for 1 week and you have the ability to buy more than 1 ad at a time. Yea, you supporters are being duped. An agency that pays their photographers shit and in return sells their photos to gossip rags for what $1,000 a picture or more and in turn puts tagged photos on their website where they want ppl to buy their ads for $4,600 a week while they bitch about ppl linking to them and building up their traffic so they can get this price? WORST BUSINESS MODEL EVER.

Classic. Perez has got some nerve accusing others of being "unethical" and "liars," hahahahaha.

I love the drama. Keep it coming, guys!

Absolutely agree.... stealing is not done. Perez and other blogs could simply link to this page, then people can see it too!

And Perez is simply pathetic with his behaviour. Sue him, I'd say.

Posted by: Geraldina


Okay, this is the first time I've been to either site to be honest, I found this link because it was posted on a forum and I like Britney :)

As for the letter another blogger wrote you, how very cool of them to write such a pathetic professional response! It's a good thing this is the internet, because if he says those kind of things personally, he wouldn't be going home with any teeth in his mouth.

As for the Brit pics finally, she's looking a lot better. Very glad of that.

Britney looks fantastic - she obviously got some liposuction and a tummy tuck which is why we haven't seen her for so long!! Stop the right click guys - let's see how many pics Perez gets without yours... mwah

Posted by: Megs


sorry. found x17 through perez too.

Posted by: M


I rarely go to either of your sites. Now that I know you're a big fuckin baby, I'm never coming back here.
Whaa! Whaa! Whaa!

Britney looks fat.

Posted by: MIKE


I found your site after going to DListed.com. Which is sooooooooooooo much better than PerezHilton.com. Perez plays favorites.

I love X17!!!!

Posted by: Minnie Palzal


at first i agreed with your post, but after reading the comments i too realised that i first found this site thru perezhilton.com and now check it regularly. i doubt i would have ever found it if perez didnt link to your site. so, yes he can be a bitch (as in that email) but honestly a lot of ppl that visit your site would have found it thru perezhilton or another celeb blog. peace! XX keep up the great celeb snapping

she look hot!

We hate Perez! ugly fat! He acts like bitch.

And also we hate paris hilton. She needs to die like perez.

fat and slut!

Posted by: nik


Hey I found your site reading thesuperficial.com which is by far the best site of them all. this site looks a little cheapy..like an un-experienced webdesigner chucked it together. and the comments are kinda..flat.

Posted by: jessy


Perez is a jealous fag. x17online is the shit!

Posted by: Jessica


All of you IDIOTS who are saying that they found x17online through Perez need to shut the f*ck up. Of course you found them through Perez, because he's someone who would rather sit there and use other people’s photos so that he doesn’t have to get up off his FAT ass and get the pictures himself. x17online had EVERY right to say something to him about him stealing his pictures because if he doesn’t tag them, then they don't get the recognition for it. I personally found x17online through Perez and realized that everything Perez has is because of x17online. Now I just bypass through that idiots website and just come straight to the source!

Posted by: JESSICA


OH... and it doesn't matter if Perez is pissed at x17online. He can’t run his site without x17online's pictures. So say and do whatever you want, he is the one who will regret starting something with x17online because he doesn’t have shit if he doesn’t have you.

Posted by: JESSICA


She looks great. It is good to see her again. I just love her.

Posted by: Lilly


It's a dog eat dog world - I too found your site through Perez - but found your site rather annoying because it wasn't updated frequently - buttons and clicks didn't work. Maybe your traffic to your site increased due to Perez. Why can't we all just get along??

Posted by: Jiggly


Perez is a vile minded person for posting such a letter. How dare he. I hope he files for bankruptcy again after being sued by another company for theft. har har.

Remember when he posted a picture of an unfortunate looking anonymous girl getting out of a car? So rude.

Posted by: 99wtfu


X17 is a tool. Dude your layout sucks and quit your damn whining. PERZ FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: DCF


Good job. I hate Perez, and his childish site. I found this site through others that published pics with your watermark and had always assumed that people were paying for them, or that at least you were aware of this. I wish you would sue his ass.

Posted by: cherree


You guys are a bunch of cry babies! The only reason I knew you existed was because I go to Perez's site EVERYDAY! You should be thanking him and sending him flowers!
Losers!

Posted by: mbeverlygill


Also found you from PEREZ- if he didn't post your images- you wouldn't have anyone commenting. You should be thanking him for being the ONLY thing that is bringing you traffic!

Posted by: Kelly


If you don't want bloggers using your pictures on their sites then why the hell do you send out numerous e-mails to all the bloggers letting them know when you have new pictures with "just don’t forget to link back to us if you use any of our stuff!" on the bottom of every one?

Posted by: Sarah


Lucky for me, I follow this site via another's blog feed (not Perez). Please!!! sue this freaking bastard! I have a blog too, I would hate to see my pix being stolen

Posted by: sandy


I found both sites through popsugar.com which is great.

Posted by: ms sugar


The only reason I ever found out about this website is because of Perez! Don't knock him because his blog is more accurate and up to the minute than your shit. And yeah those headlines do get him more traffic!! If it weren't for the fact that I steal your pix I wouldn't come here!

Posted by: Sari


Would not have known you existed unless I saw a pic form perez's site. Gotta Love perez!

Posted by: Dana


You should protect your interests. This is a business and if you let it go one time it will continue to dilute the value of it. It is too bad that others cannot come up with their own ideas and refrain from stealing from others. However, you may have public domain issues. I suggest you not make idle threats. You need to follow-thru with what you say. Otherwise, when you really decide to call the dogs in to attack, a judge may say you have let it go before.....etc. etc. etc. A simple injunction, first, may be appropriate and if that does not work, then you actually file suit. The bloggers will have to hire attorneys or ignore the suit and face default judgement. Then you can grab their assets. The attorney fees alone will make them stop stealing. Just a thought. :-)

x17online is NOT ALONE! Perez steals/has stolen from many, many people.

kudos to you guys at x17 for having the best site out there....

Perez is little media whore bitch who is a wannabe celebrity not the celeb he thinks he is now. the only reason any celebs give him the time of day is so he wont say anything bad about them or they will keep getting free publicity.

he needs to be stopped. x17 rocks!!!!thanks for finally giving the site a great makeover.

Posted by: jenny


PEREZ IS A VILE PIG.

THE PEOPLE WHO LIKE PEREZ ARE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE JUST DISCOVERED HIS SITE.

ANYONE WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH THAT PIG KNOWS WHAT AN UNETHICAL ASSHOLE HE IS.

MORE POWER TO X17. PEREZ IS A THIEF.

and he thinks he is a bigshot hanging out with Paris?...Please she would hang out with the grease in Brandon Davis' hair if it would get her some free press. WE ARE SICK OF PARIS HILTON!...who else is with me?......

he needs to be stopped. x17 rocks!!!!thanks for finally giving the site a great makeover.

I think Perez is childish, he treats stars like idiots, and writes like an idiot - which means he must think his readers are idiots too. People will get tired of him in due time, a solid source of information, like x17online - will always have a place.

Dante
PS I always link to your site, but don't use photos - maybe you could set up a way for people to pay for the photos.

Posted by: Dante


Perez is so dumb. I heard him on the radio this morning say,"there are lots of orphans out there tha still have their parents." haha all Hiltons are stupid.

Posted by: Anonymous


I found you guys through Perez and celebrity babies. Thre are som many blogs outthere nowadays. Love your site but Im also a fan of Perez some of the stuff he writes is hilarious.

Posted by: dee


I love how Perez has the nerve to call anyone UNETHICAL. That shit made me giggle out loud!!!!

Posted by: mb


WOW! she actually looks good! she isnt all trashy looking! surprise surprise!! now all she need to do is dump kevin...then shes all set for her comeback!...if only that would happen....

I wouldn't even know your site if it wasn't for Perez...perhaps you should thank him for all the hits you've gotten from him based on all the comments below.

Posted by: Queen


dude, sorry to say it, but i'm guessing most or maybe all of your traffic is perezhilton overflow. i hadn't heard of your site until i saw x17 splashed accross a few photos on perez and PITNB, so don't get too angry.

Posted by: welll....


I'd be more pissed if they were stealing bandwidth by direct linking then just using the photo since they didn’t alter the photo.

I’m confused, you use java script to “disable right clicking” on the main page but don’t on the second “jump” page. Kind of defeats the purpose if not done on all your pages.

Of course that only keeps the honest people honest since anyone can just do a screen capture anyways.

I do agree that it could potentially devalue the photo but why post it online at all if selling to a mag??? Usually the exclusive photos i.e. not SOLD OR DISPLAYED to anyone else have the greatest value and one your procure the money let the other losers scan and post all over the net and face copyright infringement charges.

Posted by: tecwzrd


I would have never found your site if it wasn't for perez, and I would like to say that he isnt the only one that uses your photos. And also, when uses your photos, it says x17online across them , so it's not like he actualy taking credit for what you did. You should be flattered that other people want to use your photos.

Posted by: Wow


I heard of your site from E! News. Perez is LAME. I never ever read his blog. Ive only been to his site once. LAME.

Posted by: Casey


I found you through Perez too...I think however I would have looked at the pictures had he just put a link to them wo stealing...but hey then why would anyone go to his site at all? Why not go to the source...I would make him obsolete. Stealing is stealing. But I did find u through him and instead of just going to his site I come here because if hes getting it from you his stuff is old.

Posted by: Jeanette


Please....I ALSO came to you because of Perez ...I always go to you both.

Why didn't you ask him for the link FREAKS!?!

Posted by: sasha


I love you guys at X17, you actually go out there and take the pictures and videos yourself. PerezHilton is GAY - the only reason he's famous is because he's using "Hilton" in his name. You are right, he's making money by stealing YOUR images, that's pretty low. You SHOULD sue him. I'd like to see headlines like "PerezHilton, a Right-Clicker Phony" hahahha. He's a tool. He not only steals pictures, but also puts stupid little comments on them as if the pics belong to him. Those comments aren't even funny. You guys can always disable linking on HIS site alone - that'll show him. Use an alternate image like "This Image was Jacked from X17Online" .. hahaha.. His email shows he has no appreciation for you guys for all the stealing he's been doing, so sue up his ass!!! X17 ROCKS!!

Posted by: happy


If the real issue is preserving the value of photos before they’re sold to print media, I have to agree with a previous poster. I can’t see how you’d be able to prevent anyone from lifting your pix off the site, which leaves you with a couple of choices - delay posting them until after the sale is made, or hold back the premium shots and post only the lesser ones.

Educate us here. How does the process work? Let’s say you shoot the Britney pix on the weekend. Then what – do you wait til Monday to contact the photo editors, or is this a 24/7 thing? For photos like this, do the mags want exclusivity, or does everyone buy a picture or two? Are they willing to pay a premium if you agree not to publish them online?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Posted by: dimes


The only reason i know about this site is because i saw pics on someone elses site. I think people should steal your pics, its obvisouly bringing in more revenue for you.

Posted by: Jen


last month they had a contest here at x17 to see who could bring them the most traffic. guess who won -- yep perez. They have used perez just as much as perez has used them.

Whaaaaah whaaaah whahhha like a little baby.

Also, when people sell their photos on a site like a stock photo site they need model releases. Do celebs give paparazzi model releases? If not then they are just as in the wrong as a photo thief.

Perez is a jerk, but I too found your site via perez.

I hate that guy. But I love this video of him. Makes you see what an evil person he is.

Even though you've disabled right-clicking, there are still ways that people can use your pictures.

Taking a screenshot and then cropping out the pictures, for one, which anyone can do with Microsoft Paint. Sorry to bust your bubble.

[And just so you know: the right-click function is still enabled on first Britney pic that you have up.]

I also found you through Perez Hilton's site. You might want to become allies.

I gotta admit that I also found youre great site through Perez. I really dont like him, but sometimes he has interesting material. Anyways, that was a rude, and ignorant response he gave you. Dont stoop to his level X17. Keep up the interesting stories
