The Thread!
Hi guys, usually I wouldn’t go through the stress of this but in 2018 this bullshit has to stop. You don’t have the right to crop out photographer’s watermark. Word to @IamDrSID

Bros @IamDrSID I personally think it’s too much effort to strategize cropping out a photographer’s watermark but abeg take down my pictures if you think it’s too much to give appropriate credit

It’s sad when you even consider that a fellow artist will go through so much effort to infringe on another artist’s IP but if na your way I no do. Please take down my images if you want to crop my watermark @IamDrSID

Just look at that. This is what @IamDrSID did. God will punish you for cropping out my watermark. They will steal your work and you will cry. https://t.co/4FqvFxp0ZR

1. As the photographer I own all IP rights to my images
2. In advent of direct profiteering a model release is required to use a face. No corporate entity will proceed without one.
3. The picture is 100% mine, no one else has the right to edit or crop without my consent. https://t.co/IS7T2g3Ofa— Tej (@BadmanTej) December 30, 2017
@IamDrSID I think it’s unfair to crop out @BadmanTej ‘s watermark from this post. It’s intellectual property theft and he worked hard for these shots. It’s better to credit him or take the post down! pic.twitter.com/f85j8KVvpt

I don’t think @IamDrSID cares about this BS he’s done.
The least you can do if tagging photo credit dey hard you is NOT CROP OUT A PHOTOGRAPHER’s ART STAMP.
The least you can do if you giving photo credit will kill you is TAKE DOWN THE IMAGE.

It’s quite easy for y’all to scream piracy cuz Jeremiah from Alaba profiteering selling your tapes without permission. It’s a diff issue if you paid for the images.
You see Better art, claim am. God will judge y’all.

You guys daily are fighting online content distributors saying they ripping you off. Same mouth you use to accuse them is the one you’re using to strip someone else’s hard work off. You’re bringing down bad karma on your head @IamDrSID
— QD and his lenses (@iamQuedy) December 31, 2017
You’re certainly NOT doing us a favor posting our art. Lord knows we will eat without your handouts. Fucking entitled SOBs! @IamDrSID
— QD and his lenses (@iamQuedy) December 31, 2017

As at the time of this post, neither Dr Sid nor Wande Coal are yet to respond to this allegations.
