# ouch....
I didn't cop what the 'prize' was
but does the fact your work is in shiny print make up for the fact that
some tosser got £240 of dvds?

# they've started removing the general tags on the pics
and making very small print *most pics by B3ta.com notes*, and then asking
that if the original creators fancy getting in touch, they'll credit them,
so might be worth
Fanj dropping them a line and asking for £240 of dvds.... As credit

# Get in touch with them
and claim the prize - I have been fighting them for ages, initially for Zoo to give the same prize the 'contributor' gets to the creator.

However, when they agreed not to publish any more of my work and then the following week published 2 of my pics, I withdrew my original suggestion and after dealing with their solicitors for several weeks - we will probably soon take them to court.

They have claimed (and I have proof that they have done so) that some 'contributors' say the images they sent in were their own work.


I'm starting to wonder if there really are contributors.

EDIT - Next stop their sponsors - I find it ironic that TV and movie companies are sponsoring a competition that is based on theft of copyright.

# I have noticed that a lot of the contributors are called 'dave' or 'tom' or some such name
very 'convenient' names

# hehehe
I was in school with a David Thomas....he was a right cunt too.

It's like the names from the articles in Viz - Peter Evans from Cardiff, RC Hole from Stoke. Sounds like complete BS.

# the Zoo mag
someone apparently entered a comp using Goldenfanjita's pic, and won. Not really nice.
