I went to that site and didn't see any photos that appeared to be taken of people at the event. Are you saying that there were nude photos taken at the event with "yourdirtymind.com" stamped on them?

If that's the case, it's the second time this week it's happened. I got a pm re: a person doing that with a different website earlier this week. I forwarded that message to Actiongrl who reviewed it and I believe is still investigating it though in the past this particular photographer had signed model releases, and because it's hosted on a free site, like flickr, there isn't much legally the LLC can do.

Can you post the Flickr URL where you found these photos?

I think someone just wants to add to the ad-click revenue in a sneaky way

The photos were posted in the 17-04-06 segment of the blog.

Here is the link:

My motives in posting this thread are to ask the question, How do burners feel about BM photos (including some semi nude women) being linked on an adult pornblog site?

Since there is nothing that can be done all it does is add traffic to the Porn site...nude women are not Porn so the blogmaster is just trying to add links for SEO relevance.
I am sure the Blogmaster loves the link on EPlaya and resultant clicks.

P.S. do like the Flickr site found more stuff I missed during 12 days on the Playa I even Blogged it too!

So what is the point?
