philfort Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 I think snoboy is correct regarding the pictures... copyright is implied. Quote
gone_alpine Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 aright... lesson learned.... next time i have a bout 3 hours to play with the site i'll make a few more notes... Quote
ChrisT Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 yep you are both correct (snoboy and philfort) and if any of the photos are sold for print it could be even more serious. Quote
Rodchester Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 The copyright ownership exists when the photo is taken. However, if you register the copyright, THEN AND ONLY THEN are you able to use the Federal Copyright Act to protect the copyright. It gives attorneys fees and costs (among other things you do not get under state law) expended in protecting the copyright. So registering it is WAY better, but it is not neccessary. Taking content off of someone else's page is copyright enfringment, unless it is with permission, or falls into one the exceptions, such as educational fair use. Quote
allthumbs Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 Another way to look at it is if you're a dirtbag with no assets anyway, let the fucker's sue....they won't get blood from a turnip. Quote

I may be mistaken, but I believe copyright is owned by the creator of a picture, or other work, simply by the act of creation... you don't need to "copyright it" to own copyright. And just coz others go to these places doesn't mean they took pictures. A bit of attitude methinks. actually pictures belong to whoever is the owner of the film and the camera Quote

The photos should belong to the person who actually snapped the shot. Quote
Szyjakowski Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 omfg. this is soo petty. just say photos came from cc.com and everything will be fine. Quote

ITS NOT DONE! so ......... whatever Cant really say anything about copyrighting but there's a picture of me in there and I never climbed with Gonealpine WTF It's a nice collection of ripoff photos. Common courtesy might be to ask other people if you should use their photos. Then you might not get flamed at all. Or at least note that you are doing so. Quote
