A word about my blog

So I just received an email from someone who is clearly dissatisfied with my website.

The email states that my website should close down because they believe the images on my site are not for me to share.

I would firstly like to say in the 'About Nicole Richie News' section I quote - 'I do not claim any of these images to be my own and i give full credit to the sources i have recieved the images and news from.'

For the benefit of any dissatisfied viewers of my blog allow me to ellaborate.

My blog is none profit, I do not make any money from my blog.
I do not take pictures from photo agencies.

I source my images from forums such as tfs, foro famous people and other websites which are in the public domain.

I have been informed that if an image is in the public domain it is available for everyone, therefore this is why many other sites who are just like my own use the same sources as I do for images as they are in the public domain.

I do understand that from time to time an image may enter the public domain which a website may not want me to use which is why I kindly ask for them to email me and I will remove it straight away.

There are so many bloggers just like mine and I won't list all of them, but we all survive on the same sources.

If I had the cash to purchase the best most exclusive images, I would do so - but I don't. Which is why I have to wait for the images to enter the public domain before I can share them with other fans.

At the very end of the day, this is just a fanpage. Which supports Nicole Richie and her work.

Please don't penalise me or my blog, as there is so many fansites out there supporting their idols in the same way.

If for some reason you are unhappy with any of the content of my website please email me firstly and I will happily remove anything you dislike.

I enjoy to write this blog, to me it is just a hobbie - I don't intentionally go out of my way to upset anyone.

Regards,

Awww don't worry about the haters.

There are millions of fan sites on the internet, is this hater going to to try to shut every single one down? I don't think so.

Nicole is your twitter friend, she knows your site exists. If she had a problem, she'd let you know, and she certainly wouldn't be your twitter friend if that were the case.

Mehhh! Haters are everywhere there is success, you can't let them bring you down. Image the haters Nicole has had to deal with over the years!

Keep up the great work, your blog is fabulous!

I just want to say that I love this site and this is the only nicole richie fansite that is up to date and interesting to read. I love that you put your own opinion on things as well as post new pictures.

I dont think youve done anything wrong regarding copyright law either so I think that you should ignore people who are negative towards you.

I love this site and I hope you don't get discouraged from maintaining it!

I really like ur blog and frankly speaking ur blog is the best of all web sites dedicated to nicole richie! i personally see nothing illegal in that, cuz you always give links to where pictures belong and every other site use pics with links, and it is considered to be ok. so dont pay attention to random people expressing their dissatisfaction! xoxo, from russia with love

Uh, photos from TFS, foto, etc are not in the public domain. They post them illegally from photo agencies. It sucks, but it's true. It sucks people are targeting your site because a million billion sites do exactly what you do -- and some are plastered with google ads in an attempt to make money off their illegal images.

I'm just leting you know. If you get a DCMA letter, you have to take the photos down. You don't have a case, unless you 1) have written permission from the copyright holder or 2) you purchased the rights to use the photos.
