pincheck 0 #26 October 30, 2009 QuoteNearly 3 months later... This is finally resolved. End of story is a cool out of court settlement for me which I will only say is most likely more than I would have received for this job had they just contacted me before using the photos. Major thanks to Jeff Donohue (Skwrl) for his legal assistance (and also to Spot for his advice on how to approach the problem). This thread is proof, we don't have to let them walk on us! you would not believe how regular newspaper and mags do this without contacting the copyright owner. Also check to see if they have a website that is using the image as the you may be able to claim a daily charge for that use ! but then depend on the laws where you live regarding this. We will usually charge them more for copyright theft than normal if they had asked for images. Billy-Sonic Haggis Flickr-Fun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laszloimage 0 #27 October 30, 2009 Congratulations Matt! And of course cheers for DSE and Skwrl for the advices and legal help! ...I wish I had a "support" like this in 2004 when an Indiana paper used my photo (scanned 8x10 print) crediting AP.
