Their timing couldn’t be better, as Yahoo’s Flickr service has recently come under fire for “filtering” (and/or censoring) photos.  Bayimg, on the other hand, has posted the famous quote, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”  (The Pirate Bay’s new site first ascribed these words to Voltaire, but Evelyn Beatrice Hall is now correctly listed as the author.)

There are also four words at the bottom of every page: “NO COPYRIGHT.  NO LICENSE.”

This attitude is sure to win Bayimg a lot of fans, and its straightforward interface won’t hurt matters, either.  The only odd thing about the site – and this could be good or bad – is its use of “removal codes.”

“When you uploaded the picture, you wrote a removal code,” a Bayimg FAQ section states.  Users (who are trying to pull their pics) are then reminded that a removal code is “[k]ind of like a password.  Now type it in and noone [sic] will ever see that picture again!”

In any event, Bayimg’s launch could be interpreted as a sort of attack on Flickr and Yahoo.  Next up: YouTube and Google.  One month ago, a post on The Pirate Bay Blog revealed, “YES – we’re going to do a video streaming site.”
