*Deep breath*

Rammstein's management has closed down the rammimages.com site. Apparently they sent a cease and desist note to the webmistress, using all sorts of official legal terms about copyright infringements and effectively made her take down the biggest and the best source of Rammstein photographs there was.

No one knows why. Maybe someone peed on the management's morning cereal, or their spouses have headaches.

There was some moron who burned some of the photos on a CD and sold it on eBay (who in their right mind would buy it? All the pictures were easily accessed and for free download on the rammimages.com site... stupid is what stupid does, obviously) and it just might be that the management is reacting to that case - shutting down one fabulous website instead of hanging the one selling the photos by his ankles and hitting his head on the floor. Which, IMO, would be what he deserves.

The fact is, that most of the photographs were taken by unprofessional photographers on a public venue, which as far as I understand gives the copyright of said photos to them. So if they want to publish them on the internet, line the walls of their apartment with them or make them into a huge kite and use them for lightning research Rammstein management should have nothing to say about it - as long as nobody else is making any profit.

I should have become a lawyer instead of a cook...

But before I go to sleep:

Rise up!
Rise up!
Resistance won't be stopped!

United we stand!

Rammsteinfans of the world, unite!

I'm a dangerous rebel element, acting alone in the gloom of the night, striking terror into the
hearts of the unwary managers worldwide by publishing Rammstein photos on blogs.

So there. I'm mentally sticking out my tongue at yer.
