In Memoriam: Tastespotting.com

It was the premiere photographic food porn gallery on the Internet. Many of you probably found this site by clicking on a photo linked to one of my videos. It was a place where the hardest, of the hardcore foodies went to see, and be seen. And now, it's gone.

I've posted the austere note that now inhabits the homepage once filled with the most beautiful food on the web. Why anyone would threaten legal action on such a sight is beyond comprehension. I'm sure photos were posted without permission, but since the photos all linked back to the website they were from, so what?

If anyone knows anything about this situation, please comment. If anyone knows of plans to start another tastespotting-esque site, please let me know. The foodiesphere has lost a great friend.
