We’re proud of the footprints Walter, his Estate, and his fans are leaving in the online sand — and in the historical record — and want to do right in protecting it.
So in keeping with our new Snitch State Reality, we’re inviting the WBM crew to help us root out the Enemies of the Empire … uh, no, we mean the Lame Fake Media … um, wait, the Corrupt DeepWeb Bureaucrati Grifters, or…well … maybe it’s all of the above.
We’re speaking of course of the online locations, on any platform, that present WBM material and/or media without proper (or any) attribution. It’s one thing to ignore our dictum on the Downloads page (and in the FAQ) that any shared WBM material must be accompanied by its copyright information. But the most egregious vandals present and share WBM material — sometimes a lot of it — with not so much as a mention of its source — that the media was provided by, originated from, is copywritten through, and resides on walterbeckermedia.com.
The violations run the gamut, from innocent or lazy oversight, to wholesale appropriation and misrepresentation. But in any case we’d like to recruit some extra eyeballs — yours — in helping us compile lists of URLs for our followup.
So if you bump into an offending URL as you wander about in the online aether, please emaill us the URL to this address:
[working on getting a clickable email link smh]
(Of course, you may also elect to log a comment on said offending site — a kind of “Community Note", if you will — that the protected WBM material has a source, and that the source is the official walterbeckermedia.com. Snark setting is entirely up to you).
Thanks, folks — it would truly help
