anyone know about copyright law

[mattcanning99]

ok, i see that there are a lot of copyright pictures posted on here, same with most websites.

anyone know specific laws pertaining to that? ryanh, youre in law school right?

just wondering what to do if a person wants to post up copyrighted pictures.

 

[gymtime]

I know nothing about copyright law, but I'll venture a guess. I think that posting copyrighted pics is probably actionable. But because it's so pervasive on the web, it's more trouble than it's worth to pursue.

 

[smallmovesal]

if you took the picture you own the copyright and no one has the right to use it without your permission.

what kind of pics are you referring to? the ones we take of ourselves and post or the ones we link to from other sites?

 

[mattcanning99]

mainly im talking about pictures from magazines, exactly like the ones that get posted here, in the pics of the pros forum.

who owns the copyright? the mag, or the photographer? do you know if a person is allowed to post them?

 

[OMEGA]

if it's not for personal,or education use permission must be asked.


would I be right if I guessed that you are trying to build your own little site?

it depends on the agreement between the magazine and photographer, but i'll say that usually the magazines credit the photographer and pay him/her a fee for using the pic(s)... per usage or copy of magazine i'd assume. so it's the photographer who usually holds the copyright.

if you scan and post the pics of the pros you are technically breaking copyright but you are not doing it for a commercial purpose so it's not worth the owner pursuing it.

i don't want to draw every single workout picture or take pictures, i wanted to just take pictures out of magazines, that's why i started this thread.

 

[OMEGA]

looks thorough.

will there be many discussion forums?

oh and can you relinquish the name of the site?

If i can contibute anything meanigful or helpful I will

 

[mattcanning99]

i dont want to give the name of the site until the site is released, only because i dont want people going there and seeing its not up, and never going back, i want it to be put up 100% complete. it has a great name, tho, im surprised i snatched it.

discussion forums wont come until later for the same reason, i want the traffic generated so the forums are a success...its been in planning for a while, and i dont want this to be some crappy site, like NYC-BOYs site
