Bouler added these comments in the current discussion du jour ...

Some people repost even in the tallshipgroups without the name of
the scanner.
I never mark my scans so its public property and somtimes I see
them posted again;-)
Its impossible to know all the scanners.


I agree with you on ALL counts, Bouler. When I post, while I legally
retain the copyright, I don't push it nor do I put a messy notice on
the picture itself. On my later digitals, I do put a copyright notice
in EXIF but that is easily deleted. Likewise, I am putting my pictures
into a de facto "public domain" simply by posting them anywhere so I
don't much care if they are reposted with or without credit. In fact,
"imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." That said, there are
MANY people who DO care - a LOT - about either NOT having their
pictures posted elsewhere or reposted at all and/or they care a LOT
about being given proper credit.

Again, this is SUPPOSED to be a fun hobby, that of creating and
collecting pictures of things of interest to us whether they be cars or
tall ships or airplanes or flowers or architecture or anything, so why
make a big deal out of it? Still, even though I've established a bad
rep for myself in many NGs, it ISN'T for frivilously reposting other
people's pictures!
