Did you not notice on the bottom of the thread that you took this picture from the poster specifically asked people not to hotlink to her images? I'm sure she'd be grateful if you would upload the photo to alternative webspace, (either your own, photobucket, the Specktra gallery etc.) and link to it from there rather than linking to her image.
People generally have to pay for their bandwidth and hotlinking costs them money. It is pretty rude to hotlink to someone's images, and especially so if they have specifically asked people not to. Many people are not very understanding about this at all and you run the risk of being flamed badly for it and ending up in a huge fight.
I'm not having a go at you, just trying to explain why this is a problem (in case you didn't already know). Could you upload the picture to alternative web space and edit your post to link to it there please? Bear in mind that the person who posted this may not post any more information for us in the future if her request that people do not hotlink are ignored.

I know what you mean! I wasn't either, but I managed to scrounge up just about everything from it (I consider myself lucky on some pieces!). I really think this might be just as hot.
LOL my MA's are always wondering how I'd find out about collections so early in advance too.

More excited than Lingerie.. lol. The colors all look so fresh and colorful. I am lusting over the eyeshadows hardcore. Lol. Is it odd that none of the MAs at my counter knew a thing about this collection? They were all excited, asking me what kind of colors it had and stuff. It was so funny!! |

Thank you for that. I really don't know why people find it hard to follow a simple rule.

Look, I know you all are makeup fanatics but a friend of mine went through ALOT of trouble to get those images out and allow me to post them in the first place. I find it rude that someone can't even ask if it's alright to post the images elsewhere seeing how you wouldn't have even seen them to begin with if it wasn't for her.
So if you would, please refrain from posting the images anywhere. They were posted in the MAC community on Livejournal and that should be the only place they are seen for now. It only takes a minute or two to sign up and join the community. So, take the few moments to sign up, please?

So sorry about that pic. Like I said, I was in a hurry and didnt upload it (I always upload my own pics, trust me!). I had a temporary brain fart. It's changed now. As for it being rude to post the pics, by now they are all over makeup forums everywhere! It's definetly taking a risk by posting pics like this that they will end up all over the net. It doesnt make it right, but thats the truth. But I will respect that you don't want me to post pics, and it won't happen again. Sorry for the mishap!
This is just a general question, but I'm just wondering what happens to the people who leak the pics/info?? Does MAC just not catch them, do they get fired, penalized, what? Because I was talking to the manager and she said anything that is released prior to the collection date is considered stolen. ?? On another note: if I worked at MAC headquaters, I wouldn't do anything to get fired. So why do some people? I mean, trust me, I'm greatful for every bit we get to see!! (& this is not a complaint!) I was just curious if anyone has any thoughts/opinions on this! ;-)

Thanks for changing the photo. I guessed you'd just missed the request not to hotlink in all the excitement about new stuff, (which I can totally understand).
MAC take a very dim view of any leaking of information and if they caught any of their employees releasing collection information early, they would almost certainly fire them, and it has happened.
I guess the reason that some people take the risk is that they understand how addicted some of us are, and how we need to know what's coming out over the next few months to help us budget and plan. It's kind of them to let us know and yes, they are genuinely taking a risk to do it. I'm incredibly grateful to them though because it gives me a chance to work out how to afford the things I want, (especially now as I'm not working due to illness, so money is tight).

Lucky!! I used to only go in every few months or so, when I needed a new mascara or something. So I must have missed it that way.
But now it is a full on addiction! Yay! When I asked my MA about Culturebloom she had no clue and when I told her about it she kinda got mad and was like, "Theres a spy in the company!!" I tried to laugh it off, but ti was awkward.

No problem! I would never do that on purpose! And yes, I appreciate their risk *SO* much! I get to drool all over my keyboard for months prior to actually getting it. I love it. It definately helps me to budget too. i find that if i don't go into MAC w/ a list, i will end up way overspending my budget and getting things I dont really want. And I'm very sorry to hear about your illness.
I hope things get better soon!

I feel a need to state the obvious here.

You can be as angry as you like, but I think you've got a bit of nerve to act like those are for you alone.
Those images in no way belong to your, or your friend, yes I'm sure she went through alot of trouble like you said. However, they are still MAC's legal intellectual property, and Head Corp. Offices of any company can be very unforgiving if they find out this sort of thing is going on. I certainlly understand the risk you take to post them up. But not everyone is going to be nice and ask even if they have read "your rules". Those people are few and far between. So unless you have stated that the images posted are done so with permission from MAC, you're as guilty of stealing too.
Also in the future I suggest you try and find a way to right-click protect if you're that concerned.
This is the internet. Not a library where people have to check things out. Once information is posted, it's out there for anyone and everyone. Rules or not.
I'm so done with this thread.
