That's why we have copyright, trademarks, patents... to protect one's remarkable ideas.
Sure I make a joke for three years and she steals it? Crapstock.comCreation Date: 28-may-2011Barb Choit StudioThat's OK I have others... Sounds like she's serious and not just squatting on a site name: (best wishes to her)Barb Choit (1977, Vancover, Canada) methodically collects, archives, and expertly photographs refuse that would normally be swept up and thrown out. The photographs on view are part of the temporary storage archive of her Division Museum of Ceramics and Glassware a project which interrogates and celebrates the impluse to collect and document a rapidly proliferating glut of disposables.

What happened?You made jokes about a website called crapstock.com 3 years ago and now someone registered it?I don't understand. The website is not in use.Can someone fill me in?
actions speak lounder than words.........
once upon a time there was a thing called snapvillage and now even turned into a decent thinganother one is called graphic leftoversI never understood why one would want to include a word with a commonly negative meaning in a trademark, but it happens
Hi,I originally purchased crapstock.com for a project... but, I'm not really using it...if you want it, it's yours!let me know, and I can figure out how to transfer it...best,Barb
Here, I got it started for you:http://www.crapstock.com
ROFLWhat's your plan Race? All images same price? Or are you going to introduce VetoCollection and Crap(minus)?
Too funny! Race, I have plenty of images to contribute, if you need some more crapstock!

Or are you going to introduce VetoCollection and Crap(minus)?Well it was a joke from the start and some people don't get it. I was reprimanded for not registering my idea, when it's wasn't real. (what else can I say) But when someone stole my idea (and she didn't really, it was a completely different meaning of crap stock, I believe using found items) I got to make another joke. I was again called out for not protecting the name.Here's where it came from. I was calling MY own Micro "Crapstock", not anyone or anything else. My collection is "Crapstock"After a while I did come up with an idea, make the requirements for being accepted for sale on CS, the image had to be refused by one of the top four agencies, SS, IS, FT or DT. ( and not for sale anywhere else, everything on CrapStock would be exclusive rejected images only!)Pricing? One price fits all, everything RF only, $5 OD downloads, artist gets 50% (going with the general theory that the agencies are abusing people because of supply and demand)So it's a fictitious project and idea, created to mock my own lazy work and CrapStock collection.Hope that helped. Here's to Barb for getting me good on this whole thing.
