So idk if others have noticed this before – but it’s the first time I’m seeing this, hence the post.

There’s a website, https://www.photosugar.com, which apparently mirrors all pictures, gifsets etc. people post on their tumblrs (and also other social media sites like twitter and instagram, if I understand it correctly).

An eample for a tumblr user, with my name:

https://www.photosugar.com/tu/lordhellebore

Now it won‘t turn up anything but a 404 error in my case, because I sent an e-mail to the contact address, which is darius@photosugar.com with the title “My content on your website”:

Hello,

it’s come to my attention that you are mirroring all of the posts containing
pictures/gifs that I post on my tumblr. I am asking you to stop pulling the content from my tumblr and to
delete me from your website.

tumblr username is „lordhellebore“

Thank you.

I got a reply consisting of the single word “removed” after just one day, and as you can see, it worked perfectly fine with the informal mail I sent. So if you want them to stop mirroring your tumblr, it seems all you really need to to is this.  

I can’t test the site for all of my mutuals, but I’m tagging a few whom I found on there by random trial & error, and I suggest you look yourself up if you see this post and dislike tumblr mirrors (even if this one is only for pictures, not text).

@janiedean, @ladytp, @vaysh11, @lunavagantt, @einemelodieimwind, @robb-greyjoy, @youbuggingme, @ysilme, @rex-luscus, @bai-xue, @viendiletto, @electricalice, @contessa-de-leusse, @memetic-mutism, @bluecichlid, @mrs-storm-andrews, @ladymothwing, @prismatic-bell, @kittykatknits, @tinkili

….basically, whomever I’m trying at random, it seems that you’re on there.

 Please reblog so others can know and ask for removal if they want to.

So I looked into this, and sure enough.  Every graphic I’ve posted or reblogged on Tumblr (on both my blogs) is mirrored on Photosugar.  It seems gross and disingenuous to mirror without consent, not to mention problematic from a copyright perspective.

Hey all – while your writing may not show up on photosugar, any pictures or graphics you post or reblog, will.  And they will show up without the textual context that accompanies them on Tumblr.  In case that matters to you.

UPDATE – You can now have your content removed by going to:
https://www.photosugar.com/remove

So no need to e-mail anyone.

I just had my blogs removed from this site. It’s incredibly sketchy that someone is doing such a thing without consent, so I highly encourage you to take a second to remove your blogs.

Y’all may want to check this out. I went there and searched up my tumblr url, and there were tons of my pic posts and reblogs on there, I would suggest checking it and removing yourself from their website! I was able to just by putting my username in the empty box when you got to the remove link

Yikes… Found all three of mine… It was just pulling up selfies from here and art collected on my other blog…

@keo-the-raptor @captainsplat @anjoartist @bluerorjhan @shoshiserif00 @chargalaxy @islandersmuse @asheoki @puffbunny

I suggest going there and taking a sec to remove your blog(s), and tag anyone you know of too. this is gross.

@tyranttortoise @jolie-in-the-underground @nighttimepixels @ut-stuff @robindaspoopy @cpuffart @aliceindoodleland @carmlpop

Probably missed some people but i thought you might want to check if your blog is there

I just checked and sure enough both of my blogs we’re on it. @voraciouscutie might wanna check
