X17 Battles with Perez Hilton

So there seems to be a blog fight brewing betweent he guys at X17 online and the self proclaimed Blog King Perez Hilton. The guys at X17 caught these pics of Britney doing a little shopping. And they do a really great job and often get pictures that no one else has. Evidently some bloggers (eh hem) take the pictures with out properly crediting X17 on I guess paying for the photos.

According to X17 here's what went down:

"Okay -- I'm on my soapbox, so here I go .... our photographers worked for
five weeks, night and day to get these pix of Britney so we can bring them to
YOU, here on X17online.com and so we can MAKE MONEY selling them to magazines.
Don't forget, people, we're not a charity! When other blogs take our images
against our will, it devalues the images and pisses off our clients. Contrary to
what some big-headed, faux blonde-haired bloggers think, them posting our images
DOES NOT help our sales. And check it out, blogging used to be something fans
did for fun -- look at how much some people are making these days, stealing
other people's images and writing cute little blurbs about them:

And after using our images for free for years, check out what this
ungrateful right-clicker emailed to me a couple hours ago after I ordered him to
remove our pix from his site or face legal notice from our attorneys:
Don't
threaten me bitch. I'm not scared!I would have gladly put up a link to your site
but you had to get all nasty.
Instead of wanting to have me as a friend or an
ally you choose to bea cunt! CUNT! And I don't wanna work with cunts. And liars.
Andunethical people. And that's what you are!
You've tried to fuck me over.
And you've only fucked yourself over.
We wish this blogger lots of luck --
I'm sure having stories like a "Fergie Is The New Beyonce
will do wonders for his traffic.
Okay -- off the soapbox -- back to
business. Britney rocks!"

Personally, I am NOT making $11,000/month off of this blog. I'm not making a dime! It would be nice! But it ain't happening. Poor people like me do rely on other websites for some of our content and photos. However, I do agree that it is quite tacky to be in business for 3 years, make thousands of dollars each month, steal pictures and then get nasty about it! Tist, tist, tist...Someone's blog is giving him an even bigger head.
