swipe to see the difference between respecting local media creators and using AI to erase them ➡️
let’s talk real for a second about what’s happening in the sports media scene right now.
as photographers and videographers, we roll up to Friday night games carrying thousands of dollars in gear, standing on the sidelines for hours, and putting time into color-grading just to help athletes look their absolute best.
when a watermark is placed on an unpurchased or complimentary photo (such as this one), it isn't there to ruin the shot. it’s credit for our labor.
using AI tools to remove a creator’s watermark and edit their work without permission isn't just a copyright issue...it disrespects the entire creative community. if a photographer hooks you up or covers your game, the absolute minimum return is keeping their logo intact and giving credit where it's due.
we love covering this state’s top talent and making you all look like D1 prospects. let’s make sure we’re keeping that same D1 standard of respect off the field too.
we will continue to be a voice for what we believe in. get better everyday.
