Dear Sir; I paid a handsome sum for the copyrights (and the
originals) of these Charles Hubbel paintings. These are "registered' copyrights with all the legal papers, signed by Hubbell's son. I have these images posted on my website with the notice that they are not to be copied or posted elsewhere without written permission. My website has the "right click to copy" feature blocked. This is for ALL of the Charles Hubbell art on my website, including watercolors, pen & ink, Oil paintings, pencil sketches and caseins, etc. O do NOT like to see you posting them for copying, so they wilL soon appear on Ebay, posted as "prints for sale" by someone who has NOT paid for this right. as I have..Please respond by taking sown these images. They jeopadize a significant investment I have in them. |

I have posted many unique, never-seen photos here before, always diligent to credit the material to its owner only to find them later in a "collection" with all credit info conveniently omitted. I have gobs of similar items that will likely never be seen outside of my computer screen for this very reason. gdp Attachment: Chance Vought decal, circa 1945 via Ed Calvert collection. |

: It's his M.O. - he post other peoples material with no regard for copyrights or laws . . . Dear Don, Ray, & Paul; Thank you for the supporting comments. I was hoping that my defensive post would not be taken as an over-reaction. I also have thousands of private aviation photos that I DO scan and share and send high-res images of (free of course) to many researchers and buffs, and modelers, on various aviation forums. I posted a lot of my aviation art collection on my website so others could enjoy viewing it. But that was some four years ago... THESE days(after being advised by those with more Internet experience) I tend to overlay all the images with a text indicating copyrighted material. 99.9% of Internet surfers respect that and are content to enjoy and correspond about it. But I've learned there are a few pitfalls to posting images, on occassion. I rarely mind copying for personal use, but when you see copies (of material that cost you a pretty penny) printed out on some copier, and sold on EBAY, (without any credit or permission) it can be upsetting. And when you want to use one of your images in a magazine article, and the editor says it is now a common image seen all over the Internet, so they don't want to use it, That can be a little upsetting, also. Haven't used the newsgroups in a while. I've never seen these Exclamation point/red icons before, in the threads. Do you put them in yourSELVES, or are they put in by some group Moderator? |

Can anyone help me to find Mitchell Holman's legal address? Since the images have not been deleted, I would like to have my attorney handle the matter from here. Usually copying an image or two is not worth pursuing. But Holman's unauthorized use of at least 44 items,represents potential damage to a six-figure investment, and to those registered-copyrights of considerable value. |

you may not know this, but you can't delete anything from a newsgroup.

Can anyone help me to find Mitchell Holman's legal address? Since the images have not been deleted, I would like to have my attorney handle the matter from here. The problem is that this is usenet, not a website. If it were a website, Mr Holman could actually delete the images as you asked. On usenet that isn't actually possible. Mr Holman could issue a cancel message for each of the posts, but that won't guarantee that the posts will actually get wiped from usenet servers. Some servers simply don't accept cancels. With usenet, once a post is out there, it is effectively out there for ever. I can understand how you would be annoyed about unauthorised use of your images, however I would suggest that the damage to your business is probably minimal. The images as posted here were simply not of a high enough resolution or quality to be printed out and sold. -- Enzo I wear the cheese. It does not wear me. |

Here is your shopping list: 1) Get a life. 2) Get an education on how Usenet actually works. 3) Get your own damn private investigator. You want us to help you try to burn a regular here? LOL 4) Get a lawyer to explain the actuall prosecutability of your complaint. 5) Get a grip. These puny 200dpi scans don't represent a real threat to the profitability of your "six figure invetment". 6) Get out your checkbook... Pursuing this complaint will only ensure you loose more than you collect. Luke |
