Absolutely. It's kind of put me off them TBH. We are no doubt their most slavish, faithful following. Oh well, there's always eBay and the vintage market to carry on with......
While it is disappointing news, I'm willing to bet most of us don't run a multi-billion dollar company and I'm sure they have their reasons which likely go a little beyond our fanclub's understanding
As far as the issue on what is/isn't released, region may be a factor as it is my understanding that certain countries get specific designs before others... who knows

Shouldn't matter where it's released - once it's out, it's out.While it is disappointing news, I'm willing to bet most of us don't run a multi-billion dollar company and I'm sure they have their reasons which likely go a little beyond our fanclub's understanding

Well, they will need to find a way of those in another country no longer being able to go onto the US site, or the Japanese site, or Australian, or anywhere except their own country of residence.......the public domain is the public domain and once info is posted it's out there in the whole wide world. Just another irritating piece of H secrecy.While it is disappointing news, I'm willing to bet most of us don't run a multi-billion dollar company and I'm sure they have their reasons which likely go a little beyond our fanclub's understanding

Plenty of us have business experience even if on a smaller scale, and I cannot think of a strong business rationale here. I don't think that any pictures posted were, you know, from people hacking into Hermes and stealing their completely unreleased designs, or breaking into a warehouse before first shipments went out and photographing the contents...
Having said that, I do wonder if @Vlad has over-deleted vs. what was needed (no offense, @Vlad, I wouldn't want to deal with Hermes' legal, either). I would be curious to understand what specific guidance, if any, has been received.
Threatening the most dedicated fanbase? Way to go!
Maybe this was the sign I needed to realize I have enough H...

It looks that 2 of my posts have been deleted. I cannot find which ones, maybe some featuring screenshots of the french site in december when a lot of new designs appear at once.
I deeply regret the opportunity of embracing all the cw of a particular design here. It was very useful too to have an overlook of the all season's production. And let's not talk about the late all-en site...
IMO, this makes the shopping experience smoothless.
The request was rather vague, but pointed out @yodaling1 's postings from early December. I deleted those and subsequent posts from this month in this thread.
Fact is that the images posted are indeed copyrighted by Hermes and (perhaps at the time of H noticing) partially unreleased to the public (?). H holds copyright to all those images either way, I am not sure in how far fair use is applied to the images.
There are other posters in this thread who shared collection photos, but they were not explicitly called out in the takedown request, so I did not remove them, nor any other user posted images.
This is terribly disappointing I am sure, but seeing as it was an official DMCA request on behalf of H corporate and we run the danger of our host shutting down our entire website due to non-compliance, I had to take action.
I came here regularly for inspirations. Sad I won't be able to see all the wonderful posts.
To be fair, if I got contacted by Hermes' legal, I would be deleting everything as well! It is very frustrating since many of us get hyped up and motivated by buy from these threads. I travel so much that I don't often have the time to go to the store when they have new scarves arriving and emailing my SA about holding a scard I see here is the easiest way for me to shop.
Thanks for sharing! It's an unfortunate situation, but I hope we can continue enjoying Hermes in the future.
To be fair, looks like there are still plenty of photos left...
I fully understand your point.
Would it be a loophole to just post links to their site?
They say they do not just sell pretty things but endorse a life style. That dream just turned sour.
