Did CP types modify the image at all to remove the copyright information? That is specifically prohibited (506 d) and the copyright owner might be interested in it. I wonder if any of the other images they have been selectively cropped.--Shagie 00:49, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

No all the writing on the picture was put on by the owner - it has now been removed - there's a link to the original on WIGO. SusanG  ContribsTalk 00:54, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
My mistake: she's left the copyright info there. [1] SusanG  ContribsTalk 00:57, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
It wasn't on the original though, I'm fairly sure. None of her other pictures have it. SusanG  ContribsTalk 01:02, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
There's a notice (Copyright 2005 - Morn Enterprises, LLC. admin@rebeccamorn.com) at the foot of every Gallery page but nothing on the actual image pages. SusanG  ContribsTalk 01:04, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
Can we be clearer about what the "owner" wrote and what we hacked onto it, please? Otherwise we are putting words in someone else's mouth, which we surely don't need to do to a friend who pwned CP. humanUser talk:Human 01:07, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
The words are ALL hers - I've cropped it & moved the bits around but not touched the words at all! SusanG  ContribsTalk 01:10, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
Wow, excellent - thanks for clarifying. And those photos are incredible, by the way. (edit) - can we at least do her the honor of linking to her website? It's at the root of the WIGO link, as I recall. humanUser talk:Human 01:12, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
Linked on the Image page. Yes they're bloody good piccies. SusanG  ContribsTalk 01:21, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
BTW I did email requesting permission to use the picture (with overprinting) but have not received a reply, which is why I 'Shopped & cropped' it. SusanG  ContribsTalk 01:44, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
My comment was not one of saying "we violated copyright" but rather "if CP removed the copyright notice" then there is action that can be taken. --Shagie 04:04, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

Slightly tangenital[edit]

(but trying to keep conv in one place) Do we know anything else about the pic author and the "story" behind the WIGO? It's fair to say that - having read her blog - she obviously isn't anybody from here, so I'm guessing that she just did a random "who's linking to me" search? I like her style, anyway.

There are some of us who send email to artists that we can identify are being infringed of "hey, your photo showed up at this website." --Shagie 12:09, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
If I get a reply to above mentioned email I'll ask her how she found out. SusanG  ContribsTalk 12:12, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
