Title: If you're missing some of your photos...

It looks like SS has removed Harley-Davidson content and I wonder if there are others who complained.

I had three removed and, now that you mention it, they were of Harleys. It came on the heels of SS's scary mistaken email about spammy titles and keywords, since apologized for, so I assumed it was about that. The Harley situation makes more sense. The same thing happened several years ago regarding a certain B-29 whose owners raised a stink and so SS took them all down. It seems, regardless of the actual law, SS will acquiesce if they're pushed.

I was just at my local H-D dealership and got some CRYSTAL clear shots I was going to upload just as I got the email. I was a little upset - and then the spammy debacle happened.

Why did they remove Harley related content?

I also had 2 images removed (before this email debacle) about a week ago.

They were images of a polaroid film, with my own image as the image on the polaroid.

They said it infringed Polaroid, and they removed them. They have been up for a couple of years. Maybe they are cleaning up some content that companies have cracked down on lately.
