I need to figure out how to best get permission and write in the photo credit, when it's someone else's.Susan Sandmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07164808807596808866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-25200892418664891852008-07-29T23:54:00.000-04:002008-07-29T23:54:00.000-04:00Hey, Janet ... good to see you here.

I found this site<BR/>http://openphoto.net/<BR/><BR/>Read the policy carefully. Photos still needed to be attributed using<BR/>the photo sharealike agreement on the site. Click there and read more.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.<BR/><BR/>JanetJanet Lee Careyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097883379365834554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-39082907945707436592008-07-21T21:56:00.000-04:002008-07-21T21:56:00.000-04:00Hey, even techno-idjets like us know it's not righ...Hey, even techno-idjets like us know it's not right to take someone else's pictures without permission.

Taking a photograph from someone's blog or website without permission and reposting on another blog or website isn't "fair use" (even if you're given credit), it's <B>copyright infringement</B>. For text, a few lines out of a blog post could be considered fair use, but not large chunks of text, and certainly not a complete photograph. You have the right to grant others permission to post your photo as long as they attribute to you, but you have just as much right to not grant them permission at all, and if you decide not to grant that permission, you have the right to ask them to remove the picture because keeping it there violates copyright law. You get to decide.Fiona Bayrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04583308023529661077noreply@blogger.com
