McFly withdraw photo ban on gay website

Posted in Miscellaneous • Recent Headlines

McFly’s management have reportedly backtracked on their previously reported demand that gay message board FM Forums ban its members from uploading photos of the boy band for other members to, erm, enjoy.

As previously reported, FM Forums moderators announced at the weekend that they had been asked by McFly’s people to stop (often half-naked) pictures of the band from appearing on the site, even though the band themselves will not own the copyright in the majority of the photos that appear. The band’s management seemed concerned that personal band photos were appearing on the site, though one FM Forums moderator noted that many of those private shots were sourced by the website’s users via the band members’ personal Twitter accounts.

Anyway, possibly because of some moderate outrage from users on the FM Forums website, and possibly because someone pointed out that distributing half-naked photos of band members to their female and gay fanbase is at the heart of most of McFly marketing campaigns, the band’s managers yesterday withdrew their demand for an all out ban of photos of the band on the FM Forums website.

Instead they asked that moderators filter out some specific photos – seemingly an official photo shoot that is not yet meant to be public, and some personal snaps posted by the McFly boys on their closed social networks. While stressing about the distribution of any photos online these days probably isn’t worth the hassle, the band would, at least, probably have a legitimate copyright claim over those photos.
