Dylan hits the big time

I really like Dylans stuff ...

What happened was a nasty bit of copyright "scalping" - but I did enjoy the reams of BS from real and amateur lawyers -

i do think sometimes something weird happens in YBW forums ... the mob gets all worked up and has a massive fight - do you remember a young woman on a boat going to Brighton and other things ...

oh well -

seriously though I thought KTL was great example of sensible small boat sailing - on budget - all very cool
But look at Delos and La Vaga and see what could have been!

Bit jumbled today? He used a photo from someone elses website without proper attribution or permission. To say it was "rather a lot" perhapd implies his website is not predominantly original work of a high quality. This is not true - KTL isnt clickbait.

Regarding the motorsailor i dont think it is for family holidays but to pursue his artform. Art has often needed benefactors- if you don't see the beauty then dont watch and no need to cast aspertions as to its integrity. It takes some bravery to share your artistic efforts with the public - are you in anyway creative?

one image.... linked for ten days.... removed on take down notice... compensation payed under weird scottish laws.

How about the shot of the leisure club at Portavadie? You know, the one from the lifestyle magazine whose website explicitly said that photographs were not to be used without permission? Still, I'm glad you got it sorted out. Good luck with the hunt for sponsorship - sailing on a budget is all very well but sailing on someone else's budget is much more comfortable!
 
He made the mistake of claiming copyright on rather a lot of material he had taken without permission from other people, then tried to sic his posse onto one who complained. There was no need for him to disappear, but I expect he had his reasons, and I'm sure he'll be back. Cats always come back when they're hungry.



It wasn't lack of funds, but lack of profits. KTL was always a commercial venture, and of course there is nothing wrong with that. I gather that he is still waiting for someone to buy him a motorsailor big enough for his family to have long summer holidays.

I don't really want to get into a bunfight over this, but since you ask ... that was not the only picture he used from someone else. And, of course, there is his long running gripe that Youtube won't allow him to use copyright music for his own financial benefit.

I'm all for artistic creativity and I'm all for sponsorship of the arts. I'm not quite sure that's the same thing as a money making venture exploiting the goodwill and interests of sailors. But hey, if people want to pay for his holidays, that's absolutely fine by me.

Jumble duck, I cant agree with that. He hotlinked one image, and then took it down, but the guy <statement which may well be criminal libel in England removed and> makes a habit of putting his images up without copyright watermarks, and then suing for useage rights. That's hardly rather a lot of material.

He "borrowed" one image from that guy, but a few minutes spent doing Google Image Searches on KTL can be most enlightening. For example, I've just clicked on KTL5 (https://www.keepturningleft.co.uk/category/sailing-around-britain/ktl-5-the-broads-to-north-norfolk/) and the second image on that page is matched by GIS to one on https://autodo.info/pages/s/skye-terrier-mary-queen-of-scots/.

Lies? What lies? It was very nice cocoa, by the way. Thanks. Have a song.

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a deckhouse saloon ?
My friends all sail Fishers, I must get one soon.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from iTunes,
So Lord, won't you buy me a deckhouse saloon ?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a pontoon at Kip ?
My budget won't run to a berth for my ship.
I'm stuck here in Suffolk, the place is a tip,
So Lord, won't you buy me pontoon at Kip ?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a nice new PC ?
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't hold out on me.
Prove that you love me and buy one for me,
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a nice new PC ?

Everybody!

There's a reason none of them are pottering about the east coast of Britain!

I also watch Barry Perrins, excellent stuff, v down to earth, just watched his latest, out three days ago, already had 11k views.
Dylan, you could do stuff like that.

Criticism and disagreement is one thing, this sort of aggressive mocking quite another. Find a better use for your time.

JD I think you perhaps will regret this latest post in the morning.
You tread a very aggressive line towards an old friend on here who has given many of us pleasure with his own unique view of the boaty world.

What has D done to deserve your vitriol or is it that you didn't add enough water to your nightcap? Perhaps you are a closet mobo wakeshot man who has been upset by his comical observations of Mobo's or even a champion PWC rider?

I don't remember getting so much enjoyment or knowledge from your contributions to YBW forums and have registered in my little brain more negativity on your part than most contributors!








Hello Dylan and welcome back.
