Mate, it boils down to this. If you think my photos are good enough to steal
for your own good self, then great for you. there only aircraft photos.

Personally I think that you would get off your arse and do it yourself but I
appreciate ther are those who can't and tehn there are those who just don't
want to. I guess you fit in teh later. I photograph a LOT of RICH peoples
toys and it is sometimes them that will do the chasing. Not me. So what ever
you reckon is fine, I am fine with. And just try and get away with something
that has the EAA logo in it without their permission.

Read the case law and stop with the stupid comments when you don't
know what you are talking about.

Try and profit from one of anyone elses images and you'd not have much of

Sounds to me like you are trying to justify putting an image you have seen
on the web to promote your own business. as I understand it, the US
copyright law (not anyone elses) states that it is for non profit
organisations like charities. Not companies and not websites for the fun
of
it.

jump up and down all you like, it seems that you using my photo is more
upsetting to you than it is to me.

curious, do you work for webshots. They like to bluff as well but they
pull
the images before it gets into a bum fight.

People, stop the stupid comments in reference to us copyright law and
read up on it. Once you have published your work you do not have an
absolute right to it, fair use trumps your rights. If you do not want
fair use to trump yorr rights then dont post your pictures, READ THE
CASE LAW AND STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FAIR USE OF YOUR COPYRIGHT
PICTURES. GROW UP AND LEARN ABOUT FAIR USE AND BY THE WAY LEARN ABOUT
WHETHER YOUR PICTURE IS EVEN ENTITLED TO COPY RIGHT PROTECTION.

Under current US law, could be 100+ years. (You have the Disney
corporation (among others) to thank for pushing for longer and

Granted, the copyright holder may have a difficult time preventing
you
from using it or tracking you down if you do use the photo without
permission, but they have (almost) complete legal control over its
use.
The "almost" part refers to gray areas surrounding parody and
reviews.

But copyright is WAY to complex to be explained in 2 paragraphs.
Check
wikipedia for a better overview and links to more detailed
explanation.

Then the US have it completely wrong.

What is the difference between people seeing your work on the
newsgroup, and people seeing your work on somebody else's webpage,
with attributions to you?

They didn't ask?

Not enough of a difference. The people accessing them are still seein
a photo with the author's name on it, all that has changed is the
method they use to access the photo.
