Jay Honeck wins AvWeb's POTW!

He needs to copyright that and put it on Airliners.net. He might get a
commercial nibble from it

Great Shot.. Love it,
Dave

Awesome pic, Jay.

Just in case anyone would like to view it:

Wow! This is a *great* photo.

Congrats Jay!

Too late Dave, it is already in public domain.

I beg to differ. Presuming he is the photographer (no reasons not to),
Jay owns copyright to the photo. Just because he gave AvWeb permission to
print it doesn't change that fact. If someone copies it off AvWeb and uses
it for anything other than his or her own private use, Jay could (if willing
to invest the resources) take them to court in a civil action for
infringement of that copyright.
Dave's statement is slightly naive. Copyright exists from the moment of
creation. Registration is a different matter and, while helpful in a
courtroom, not required.

I found the following website most helpful, and being it's on
the US Copyright Office's webpage, it's authority is assured.

It is already copyrighted. Marking it puts people on notice, but it's
not required for legal protection under the law.
