I've a friend who's a keen amateur photographer, one who's had some of his pictures nicked by others without him either getting payment or credit for his work. The other day he posted this acticle: petapixel.com/2014/04/21/band-responds-worst-way-possible-stealing-photographers-work/It's an interesting read. I know I had to be really careful when I needed some illustrations for a workshop I built - you can't have a FTSE top company accused of nicking images they should have paid for. I wonder at what point you can take stuff from the internet and make it your own before realising you're depriving its owner from income due to them. It's clearly a touchy subject. Is knocking something up using the band's logo or pictures theft of its intellectual property? By doing this at a reduced rate are you depriving the band of a sale they would have otherwise had? What would you do if you found one of your pics or pieces of artwork used by someone else without them crediting you for your work? Or should be it be that anything on the internet is fair game for you to do whatever you like with? There's no agenda here, no finger pointing, I'm just interested (and also wondering if I can sneak some better pics into my workshop!).

Copyright issues impact on my day job, my research studies and my hobbies so it is something I'm more than well aware of and yet I still don't understand all the intricacies. In my day job I use images that have Creative Commons licences and attribute images to artists, or I create my own images.
For my research it is about the written word and plagiarism, and also about distributing copies of a journal article. I also had an issue with putting test items in the appendices that was too long drawn out and boring to go into. Suffice to say, it was a minefield.
A lot of people assume it is fair game if it is on the net, and pinterest is a classic example of how attribution for artwork and imagery is often screwed over.

Funny enough I am just downloading fonts and making sure they have copyright release for "completely free to use" and not just "free for personal use".

ebs I was annoyed to find the other day that the bands biographer had used one if my images without asking or crediting. It wasn't a particularly high quality image as it had been ripped from the net after being used by the Huddersfield Examiner. I also noticed that it had beem used on an Embrace fan site,again uncredited. This was only a mobile snap but if it had been one of my proper photos that I use for work or exhibitions I would be livid! Particularly if someone was using it as if it were their own work.

HB the irritating thing about that is that is a) a person who should know better, and b) the image was credited to you in the paper and he could have easily found you and asked for a decent copy with the correct attribution.

Sorry, that was a bit finger pointy, but the reality stands. It's probably a genuine oversight but one that would easily be corrected.

I think there's a lack of education on this subject these days. The wonder of the internet can also be a curse, when so much is easily found (and perhaps easily ripped off).

I think there's a lack of education on this subject these days. The wonder of the internet can also be a curse, when so much is easily found (and perhaps easily ripped off). Completely. I'm in the process of uploading all of my pics from the last year or two onto Flikr (private for the moment) with a view to sharing some of them through my work blog and eventually a website to promote myself and my work. A lot of these images haven't been uploaded anywhere online before and have only been shown in my exhibition space (barring the one that I donated to the band at SG20 which has been used in the obsession artwork). I'm worried about what might happen to the images and how they might be used. I'm more than happy for people to share them round if they are high quality and they're fully credited but I don't want low res ones going round and my big fear is people passing them off as their own (not that I think my work'#s so amazing people would want to nick it!).

I imagine that is a tough one. You could watermark them I guess, but would that kind of ruin the full effect of the image?
