RE: The unfair practice by @therealwolf associated with @smartsteem
the pictures may be yours
The thing is, they are not his, we have gone over that a few times in the past. He works with weddings, gets photos from other photographers for something in his business but has no license to post them online for profit. Not even convinced he has rights to use them in his business or that he has one.
he does run a small wedding-planning business with a small team under him, I've confirmed that and for myself and have no reason to doubt it. I agree that it's very unlikely he's taking these pictures himself but I would argue that he does have permission to republish them.
a lot of the images can be found on the web as various location-catalogues on the web present those same images as uploaded by the venue operators, too
really though, I don't even see why that matters so much, the behavior of squatting a variety of trending categories with this minimum effort "original" content via bid-bots should be enough reason to flag his content and ultimately blacklist him from the bid-bots
this really isn't so much an issue about copyright as it is about abusive behavior towards the platform's twisted economics
He's confirmed he doesn't take them himself nor does he have a license to sell them or make a profit off them.

@themarkymark
Do you have the license to right any things without having proof. Then what happens with @magicdice.
We always not rights, someone can be right.
By the way this is not the point of discussion here, the point is that how @therealwolf reacted for query.
You can right in your thoughts but truth may different.
