<< 1 day after last years show, pics from the show of Paul Sadoffs bike were on a porn site. YES, a porn site. This was not cool with Paul and my job is to make sure the builders have a positive experience with this show. Allowing no public cameras cuts down on that possibility. >>
Hmmm. Why would someone put bikes on a porn site? Doesn't make sense to me., How did Paul find those? Heck, they can take photos from the internet of Pauls stuff anytime they want and publish them on a porn site. Are you saying that some omne who attended the sh0ow last year took pictures and sent them to a porn site??? Crazy! And who cares?
<< Another problem was the first show had a bunch of folks snapping pics and publishing them to their own sites. Alot of the images were less than first class and i would rather have only pro images published. If you can think of a way to do this, let me know.>>
Hmmm again. Seems to me that any publicity is good publicity. The quality of the pictures is something anyone cares about? Certainly anyone who cared to take pictures did it out of interest for the subjects and invested their energies because they liked what they saw. It's a little insulting to fans to say they have no access. Doesn't make sense to me. I saw all the shots from last year (except this porn thing) I think and I thought they added a lot to the event. Nope, I don't buy it, sorry.
I assume you have been to Interbike etc. They supposed ban pictures by non media types and it has never worked.. Futile efforts = frustration. My advice; fagetaboutit!
