brunom Posted November 27, 2006 Share #21 Posted November 27, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am not set up [ I think ?] to put photos on the internet - but one of the major ideas that really saps my enthusiasm for doing so is the thought that anyone can take the photo and use it commecially [ anywhere on earth ] and I would have no idea that, that had been done, apart from a lucky break, or by spending the rest of my life scouring the net for misuse. Is there any protection from this sort of thing happening and what can we do to help prevent it occurring, or to reduce the chances of it happening.

Take uncommercial rubbish like I do and it's not a problem I have a friend who isn't a photographer by trade, but who does have a web site or two and knows how to get the search engines to find them. He took some shots of a bank headquarters building in NW US and has so far earned over $6,000 from their use of them. (They emailed him asking to use them so he sold them a licence for the ones on-line and those which he had kept back) So, if he hadn't had these jpgs on-line, he would never have been able to sell the shots to the bank. Worth thinking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted November 27, 2006 Share #23 Posted November 27, 2006 I had an email a while ago from a travel company that wanted to use one of my Paris shots in a flyer they were sending out. I got about £550 for that! Again, wouldn't have happended but for the internet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

albert Posted November 27, 2006 Share #29 Posted November 27, 2006 Because the world is changing at an accelerating rate of speed. I find it exciting, and fun, to try and keep up with the way people are communicating. I will be 60 in a few days. I know people my age who don't know how to send an e-mail. They are not bad people. Well, some of them are not bad people. I post photographs to feel part of a worldwide amateur gallery that could not have existed a few years ago.
