Will the Tickling Media Forum be next, with its photos and video clips of “Pictures of the Ex-,” or “The Ex-Wife’s Foot Photos”, “Tickling the Ex,” “Former Co-Worker,” “Tickled While Asleep,” etc?
We can still find the underage Hayden Panettiere tickling images here if we look hard enough. Isn’t a similar debate on a similar subject why Max Speer disappeared from here for a few years? And *that* just dealt with links to off-site fiction, not actual, on-the-Forum material. Then, there’s the Real Story section that has plenty of tales of non-consenting “vanilla” participants becoming a part of our collective fetish fantasy material.
Add in, the copyright holders for all the images in the Celebrity photos section are probably *not* getting paid their rightful royalty fees for their work. As a shooter myself, this is a real issue of rights, money, and image use. No, it isn’t “public domain” just because a celebrity is in it. The opposite, if anything.
I’m surprised the founders of Wikifeet haven’t been in front of a court. They sell ads while providing free photo of celebs with a specific fetish in mind (i.e., it’s not a medical site) no matter how much they lean into an “artistic merit” claim. They didn’t even create the art of the “artistic” part.
The TMF either needs to clean its own house, or keep quiet & keep its own head down. Say nothing, and hope in return that it doesn’t get noticed. If Dave D'amato held so much legal power over the Forum for years prior to his death then I imagine a hoard of Hollywood agents & personal injury lawyers for the exes/coworkers/etc. would be able to bury it.
