Maybe they are just saying that to appease people and don't actually remove images.
I can't reach that site right now. I also wonder why you think photos taken at SFD events might ever be taken down by flickr or other 'mainstream' photo sites. Has there been any problem in the past? They've never removed or censored any of my photos..
You have not understood anything of censorship, if you believe that the only important thing is if /you/ get censored...
I myself cannot write code to eg. the Linux kernel. Then why is it important for me to have software freedom nr. 1?
It seems to me that BayIMG's claim to fame is "we won't remove your hardcore porn and pirated commercial photography." I'm not sure that's the sort of place we want to be associated with.
I must admit that it is problematic, that they (bayimg) can remove whatever they want. At least they are very honest about it, and state it very clear on the front page that they can. If anyone now a good site that does not censor, please post a link here.
Btw. you talk about pirates..? Pirates attach ships on the high seas, and kidnap and murder people on them ;-) If you by 'pirates' mean people that make unauthorized copies, please use a term like eg. 'unauthorized copying'.
