Точчно. Но сайт-то закрыли

фихово... =((

RammImages.com:
Management has posted a response, backpedaling as much as they can, to the RammImages.com Attack (this is copied directly
from the official site, all rights reserved, no copyright infringement intended, blah blah blah).
-----------------
Neither Rammstein nor their managment or lawyers have had shut down the www.rammimages.com site. The domain host was
simply asked to remove some photos, for which this person does not own publishing rights. Rammstein signed many different
contracts in collaboration with – among others – video directors, designers, graphic designers, record
company, publishing company and also photographers. Those contracts agree on who what, when and where is allowed to
publish, some of it – for instance – is exclusively, for intern usage or meant to be published at a later
date. www.rammimages.com has published photos, which belong into this category and was therefore asked to remove the
pictures from the site. Additionally, there were discussions about how to produce their own Rammstein shirts the best way
on this page, the domain host was precautionary made aware, that the production of bootlegs is illegal and was asked to
make their users aware of it. That was it! If the domain host uses the occasion to close the site, we can only (like any
others) wonder.
--------------------

Now, this is what the moderating team on Minx's forum had to say about that:
--------------------
The declaration on Rammstein.com does not really tell how things are.

Minx has received a declaration to cease and desist from a lawyer, to close the picture gallery and to name those who
provided the pics to her.
It was never said as a reason that there were or are contracts signed between Rammstein and others about the publishing
of pics.
And minx was not "asked" to remove the pics, she was requested by laywers under the thretening of a penalty and damages
with no amount mentioned right now, if the declaration is not sent to the lawyers til 09.09.05.

Concerning the "t-shirt" topic, they were meant as a campiagn for rammimages.com and the members of that forum. They all
took care of NOT violating copyrights of Rammstein, everybody reading the whole thead concerning this topic could
understand and see that.

As the management did not contact Minx before the letter of the lawyers was received it is no wonder that Minx decided to
remove the site (for now), and the astonishment at the end of the offical statement is not really fitting.
-------------------

I've known Minx for more than a year and I'm sure the truth is closer to her side than it is to management's side since,
so far, this is almost a carbon copy of what happened to rammsteinfan.de before it shut down. Rammstein and their
management do have a right to refuse that certain pictures or files be posted on the net, but the biggest complaint that
most of us fans have is in the manner that they are disallowing it. A simple email to Minx would have sufficed, a cease
and desist letter from a lawyer with the possibility of financial losses and being forced to disclose names of those who
contributed images was very extreme. Management still seems to ignore the bigger problem of people selling images,
bootlegs, pre-released material, and Rammstein items with fake nazi affiliations on ebay and profiting off of them, but I
guess a FANsite with some copyright infringements (many of which Minx would not know about if the photographer signed a
contract with management not to release those photos) that offers free publicity to the band is more important. Please
continue sending your emails to management as this is definitely not over yet.
