Damn. Look at this user. Using my pics without giving me credit. He left the sig/stamp of the other 2 pics and took mine out. I know I'm no professional photographer like "1013mm" But damn. Give me some credit. Don't just edit out my name put up your logo in place. :thumbsdown: At least let me know.

Loool, I loved the comment. "We emailed DPE to give us your info to contact you and get all pictures from you "
THATS AFTER they posted the pics lol. I mean taking the pics are not a really biggy, But taking CREDIT FOR THEM and removing the original Signature :thumbsdown:

And AMAZING REPLY " yeah.... Didn't get the memo, PM ME next time.... (should have been followed by "You Arrogant Pr*ck) "

Well handled DK

Actually you guys are jumping to conclusions about DPE. I spoke with DPE directly 4 minutes after DKNY postd this thread and asked them what's up. The guy who cropped the images, not Manu the owner, didn't know that DK New York was a watermark, he thought it was some crew and he could read the text.

I had immediately notified DPE when DKNY posted this thread and it would've been resolved ASAP and proper credit given if DKNY hadn't posted on luxury4play.

Mistakes happen and I think it's pretty good that DPE replied to your concerns immediately on the forum. From experience, not very many vendors do that.

Thanks Michael for the quick response and resolution.

I emailed Manu. He said he contacted Luis for my info. But I never heard anything from him or DPE before these pictures got posted.

Miscommunication on all 3 parties.

With all due respect to DPE, Whether it was Watermark, Crew, Gang or Mob, Labeling something that is not yours is plagiarism (First thing they teach you in kinder garden).

If he had posted the pictures (even without DK Signature), that would still be acceptable, but Stamping it DPE, now that's what I call wrong.

I am not accusing Manu for trusting his employee nor blaming DPE as a whole, I am talking in GENERAL. Companies cannot watch every single employee's action, but can check the source before releasing anything with their NAME ON IT

Anyhow, glad it was resolved, and yes, it was a miss-understanding from everyone, but I did not like the response DK was given (compared to vendors around here such yourself and Brabus John).
