That's not entirely true. A children's portrait service will transfer copyright (they explicitly state this) and provide the original digital file for an extra fee. Btw, I consider this whole practice extortion.

It's been awhile since I've had anything professionally taken, but previously I've never had any trouble finding a photographer unwilling to assign copyright with a bit of wrangling. I've never paid extra, but I have been quite adamant that I won't be paying at all without it.

Good to know! I will keep this in mind.

A more useful lesson to us is: use http status codes appropriately. The site took down the photos, but they keep returning 200 for the links, and saying "image gone" in content. That's not how it's supposed to be. Please check to see your web-framework and CRM actually respect HTTP, in spec text and spirit .

Maybe they use Arc, e.g. http://news.ycombinator.com/nosuchfile

It's not Arc that does that, it's the http server written in it. As you already knew.

Why wasn't it called "The http server written in Arc challenge" at http://www.paulgraham.com/arcchallenge.html?

It's common, though not acceptable, to conflate language with supporting tools/libraries, sometimes even the OS? It's very hard to draw the distinction when the language is not standardized, and/or heavily used (as language implementors are also its consumers.)

It should be a good exercise to take the public StackOverflow data and see how many "Rails" problems are actually Ruby, httpd, db, OS, or wetware problems.
