Despite Takedown Notice, Reddit's Creepiest Community Is Still Sharing Your Nudes

R/photobucketplunder has "gone dark." After a Gawker article about the Reddit subsection's practice of finding and sharing inadvertently-published, sexually explicit photos on Photobucket, the image-hosting site served a takedown notice: "It has come to PBI's attention that you are violating PBI's Terms of Use. Moreover, the name and graphics used for your subreddit infringe PBI's registered trademarks." The r/photobucketplunder mods posted a final message: "Gone dark. Due to a legal request from photobucket, we have gone dark. It was a good run."
Ladies: 8,000 Creeps on Reddit Are Sharing the Nude Photos You Posted to Photobucket
Have you ever uploaded a nudie shot to Photobucket — one of the web's largest, and oldest,…
It's not quite over yet, though.
R/photobucketplunder may have gone dark, but a new subreddit made up of the same core community has already sprung up, using the name r/photoplunder in an effort to scrub all references to Photobucket from the site.
Even with a new name, it's business as usual. The community already has 1,800 subscribers and a full page of links. Many of the community members, apparently collectors, have generously republished dozens of albums of photos taken from the previous subreddit — republished on Imgur, of course, in case the women get wise to the fact that a couple thousand Redditors have access to their nudes and remove them from Photobucket. As with r/photobucketplunder, the emphasis is on secrecy ("Do not follow the usernames of the girls submitted to this subreddit," reads one of the rules. "When you follow them it sends an e-mail to them notifying them they're being followed") and the tone is one of general disregard. The website title of both subreddits is "They should know better."
The name change would seem to satisfy the copyright component of Photobucket's complaint, and remove the company's main line of attack
