plunger021 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I like to get my photos from uspresswire.com. The URL I used to get them isn't working now (http://cache.uspresswire.com/image/thumb/1000-1000/2217907.jpg). Does anyone know the new URL or is the presswire website cracking down on people downloading their photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Oh, yes we are...we just can't post their images. If they're stupid enough to hire people who can't secure their website properly, in my opinion, they deserve as much ridicule and financial loss as possible. You can still get photos from CBS Sportsline. Find a photo and change the "_lower" section of the URL to "_1024x768". Moved thread to Left Field.

SloppyChris Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Yeah something about changing the Us Presswire website so the address hack doesn't work. A quick google search is of no help, hopefully the person who discovered the original could look into it? As for CBS, their photos are still great. You have to make a habit of checking every few days when they update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only AP photos work like that. i wish I could figure out how to get US press wire to enlarge so I could use it for my Marlins power against Phillies fans.

catzrthecoolest Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Yeah... aren't they the ones who actually bothered to send a cease and desist letter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kccitystar Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Actually the C&D letter was sent because people don't know how to host images instead of direct hotlinking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
