I invite everyone to visit

Hi!

Thanks for giving here the link.
I have seen this site before.
A lot of my pics there and other pics from our forum here

Some of those 'ground finds' are too good..

I can only question pages like this, and suggest we watermark our photographs in future.

Nice site. I also foud some of mine :-)

my thoughts too

Nice fotos, the Legion condor were pics are stolen from me...

I WONDER IF THEY WOULD LIKE A PICTURE OF MY DODGY SS RING
THEY HAVE NO NEED TO NICK IT, I WILL GLADLY GIVE IT TO THEM

Hey friends
Why stolen ?
Stolen it was it is when taken from your computer, whitout your knowledge ...
You show your photos to everyone.
If you do not like that they where still show stavte logo on your photos.
The publication of your photos is where a ban?
I'm sorry, but I personally first time I heard about what that bans
You did not have themselves strangers pictures of the rings?

I, and most people I know, do not mind if people use our photos as long as we receive credit for the item or photo, and the item is not misrepresented.

Watermarking the photo with the owners name has always been adequate for me.

But I do not know if there are specific rules about this.

E. , Thanks for showing us and the invite. The more the merrier!
Once you put a photo up on the internet anyone can 'take'/'use' it..

It would be proper it they [or other sites] would give credit for the piece.
Polite and professional to do,,example:
'Period advertisement from collection of 'Odal',GDC'.

On some of the dug pieces,,Funny though no matter how much dirt is on it or partially buried a fantasy ring you can still tell its a fantasy!

Because posted images are an integral part of running a web site, I have done a bit of research into current copyright laws. Basically, the photographer owns the copyrights to a photo and the photo can not be used without his permission. Even citing the source does not give someone permission to download and use the photo on their website. Conversely, owning an item photographed by someone else or buying a photo does not give you the copyright. The copyright remains with the photographer unless you have a written agreement from the photographer giving you the copyright.

When you post a photo on GDC, you are giving us a limited use copyright to display the photo on the web site. That does not give permission for any other use of your photos. If you allow your photos to be used by other individuals without permission, you may lose any future copyright protection as the photo can then be considered in the public domain. It is up to the copyright owner to protect his interests.

If you have a problem with a site using photos without permission, email the site owner and request he remove them. Most web site owners will either comply or ask for your permission to use the photos. If he does not respond or refuses, then email the web site Internet Service Provider (ISP). State that the photos were used without permission and provide links to the photos involved. The ISP will contact the site owner and require them to either remove the images or provide documentation that they have the permission of the copyright owner.

This information applies in all countries that signed the International Copyright Agreement. Results may vary if the host country has not signed

As a final note, I have not given anyone permission to download photos from GDC for any purpose!

much thanks for this interesting informations
