I'm tired of doing IotD - Page 5

slang · 10-03-2007, 02:40 PM

Help me understand how this works.

The IOtD is normally found somewhere on the net, right? It's something posted somewhere that's current events like or interesting.

The job that you are talking about is basically finding new material already on the net, yes?

Undertoad · 10-03-2007, 03:56 PM

Yes, and people send them along. It's probably about a half-hour a day, including a bit of boring uploading and management effort. I've just been doing it for so long!

But there is a better way, somehow, to get it done.

Neatorama is probably going to end our collaboration, as they have now been contacted by a photographer who is upset about their use of a copyrighted image. They are considering not posting any copyrighted images unless they are postage-stamp versions.

I will probably end IotD if they do. Unless I work an hour a day at image clearance, it's just a huge copyright violation and puts me at risk of huge legal harm.

Aliantha · 10-25-2007, 06:36 PM

Well I don't think you should risk getting yourself into legal trouble over it.

If this does happen, will that mean that no one should post pics they find elsewhere on the net on your site?

Undertoad · 10-25-2007, 06:43 PM

No, the rest of the forum is sort of noise-level to people hunting for copyright violations. Nobody's going to get sued because they shared something on a forum. They're going to get sued because somebody thinks the website is worth a lot of money. Somebody probably thinks Neatorama, just because it's well done, is some sort of money-making operation. Alex at Neatorama said the photog wasn't satisfied by the deletion of the image and the post. He hopes the photog will be satisfied by the licensing of the image.

Aliantha · 10-25-2007, 06:50 PM

Hmmm...that's pretty rough huh. With some photographers they put a watermark on web versions of photos they're hoping to sell. Maybe that's his issue? no watermark means any old person can download it and make a photo quality image for themselves.

lumberjim · 10-25-2007, 08:58 PM

Well.....It's certainly not worth any risk......add it to the fact that you're tired of it.....

Fuck it.
