[complaints]

I am a Professor and I used to create non-profit scientific videos and upload them to public video sites. However, many video sites such as photobucket.com, revver.com do not have any respect for my work. Thus, I am not creating public educational videos any longer for such sites. Instead, I prefer working on my public Educational Internet Sites. Photobucket.com closed my account; but, stolen my own video from the account, photobucket.com still features my video on photobucket.com against my consent. Their support department is full of lying people with no respect to video creators. I can not afford for paying copyright infringement files for my free videos. I hope photobucket.com will be closed down forever. Their support department lies about my video and says unplayable for my playing video.

I've had bad experiences with Photobucket in the past, they do not seem to really respect copyrights. Their TOS indicates they will close an account if it has too many copyright violations, but they apparently don't enforce that at all. Like too many sites, they appear to hide behind the hassles imposed by the DMCA, instead of making a good faith effort to prevent the use of their site for copyright infringement. They were told, for example, that one user in particular was infringing on the rights of quite a few photographers with photos that were even labeled to show they were infringing, but they did nothing unless each photographer jumped through the DMCA hoop for each and every photo.

Photobucket.com is a thief site. Photobucket.com does not want video creators create videos. They stolen my documentary video from my account. They removed my account but they did not remove my video from their site. Their Support Department is full of video thieves, lying people. I hope their site will be closed down forever.
