New York 'scene' photographer/actor/singer Kyle Dean Reinford recently found out viral blogger Carles republished one of his photos on Hipster Runoff blog with attribution and a link to Reinford's site but without his permission. Now Reinford is bringing out the big guns to protect his intellectual property: he is filing a DMCA request. His twitter stream indicates he may also be 'losing his shit'.(Photo of Kyle Dean Reinford by Kyle Dean Reinford used in accordance with the fair use doctrine.)
