Whether I was aware of what was going on on my server or not, the law is the same......copy images and you pay. Even if I did not copy them myself physically, I "provided the computer systems which facilitated the illegal distribution of the Plaintiff's images." I have three options now......appeal, settle, or bankrupt. I have not decided yet. "Goddess" is my online photo magazine for my original charm/erotic photography. It is not in print (yet), and is only available from my site in www format or on CDROM. "Goddess" is my only pay-per-view website at this time and does well enough that I can live off of it, consider it my only business, lease my own T-1, and photograph young models with my Leicas all day long....... Yes, I am "still" publishing. I have been a self-taught, developing web publisher for over 3 years now.
