January 10, 2007: Gawked!
So someone just pointed this out to me... twice in the last week, the folks at Gawker have taken images off of the WYSIWYG website and reposted them.
This post about Rachel Sklar features a photo from our "First, Last, and Insecurity" show in September of 2005, and last week in this post about Elizabeth Spiers they used a Photoshopped a photo from her performance at our "Minimum Rage" show in April of the same year.
Um, Gawker, what gives? I thought y'all were supposed to know about how this whole Internet thing works? Granted, we've had a LOT of well-known NYC bloggers perform at WYSIWYG in our three years of existence, so it's not surprising that we may be a source for photos of some of the people Gawker likes to mention, and it's not that we mind sharing photos, but asking for permission would be nice, or at least some linky love for using materials taken from our site. Especially since Gawker's co-editor is herself a 'WYG alum. And given how much of my work days I dither away reading your site. Just saying.
In other news, we have a show next week, in case you hadn't noticed it plastered all over the front page of the site! And for this one, we've ditched the themes -- it's a total free-for-all. So come on out next Wednesday, 'cause there's no telling what these crazy kids will be doing!
