About the Monthly iStorya Photo Contest

[jickbok]

---

I understand your sentiments, master P-chan, pero from where I stand I see that both sides made mistakes, regrettable mistakes. Ang maganda lang sa virtual forums is that these mistakes can be "erased", we can have a fresh start as you have done now with new Monthly Photography Contest thread.

Now I know it will be difficult for everyone to forget and forgive but let us please remember 'tis the season for such virtues.

If both sides made mistakes, i humbly ask how come only 1 side got muted and not both?

the thread was deleted already... all were muted in my opinion... if i could delete this post as the thread starter para mahunong na ni i would ... lets move on people hehehe

i am with you with this point... this is just for fun... but since somebody brought out the issue on copyright... we have to deal with it too so that we'll continue to have fun ... i dont mind seing my photos being used by somebody else even if they make money from it, whether they acknowledge me or not... i dont give a **** ... karon nga hobby ra ni ako hehehe , pero sa mga pro, this is a very legit issue ... pero kung ma-pro nako hehehe kanus-a pa...

wa man ghapon tay ma buhat about copyright copyright if wa nato gi pa issue og copyright license sa dti atong work, ako nya to ee post ang requirements sa pag copyright, murag p800+ man to bayad, if wa nato gi pa register atong pics na gi post online nya gamit sa laing tao murag pilde man ghapon ta ana if naa sa kaso kaso.

pero sa creative commons phil. pwede nato pa register diha atong pics, so if somebody will mess with our photos we can show them legal license sa atong photos.

In most parts of the world, including the U.S., Canada, EU countries, and Japan, you are automatically granted copyrights to your photos.

However, the nonprofit Creative Commons offers six default licenses as an alternative to full copyright so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.

Remember that you can only copyright images that you own. This means you can't copyright images that you've taken from somewhere else! Additionally, just because an image does not have a Creative Commons license attached to it, doesn't mean that it is public domain.

yup that's from most part of the "world" pero how about Philippines. Di paman ligon atong INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES, if mag sigi tag post sa ato pics nga wa nato pa license posible pwede or gamiton gyud for sure sa ubang tao,

para sa kinsa nahan pa license sa inyu works Intellectual Property Office

Actually, the links refer to Trademarks, Tradenames or Service Names. They don't apply to photographs, which are covered by The Law on Copyrights (Part IV) of the IP Code.

"Copyright" actually covers two things: the moral rights that are part of your work - the right to attribution, etc., and the "copyright" or economic rights - the right to allow (via license) others to use your work.

Under the IP Code, you own the copyright to your photograph the moment it is created. Moreover, you don't even need to register it as "proof" of your ownership. As long as you can prove that you took the photo - you have the original file with the EXIF data showing that you took it, then that's it.

pero sir how about, example *u rent a camera or barrow it from someone with the CF and ayun nag picture picture naka like sa sinulog, then u copy the file to ur pc/mac but forget to reformat the cam, then another person rent or the owner mismo sa cam ang mu angkun sa pictures then he pass it in the sinulog tapos naka daog too, nya mu reklamo either nila kung nga ilaha ni nga pic, in this case unsaun man og prove which is the real owner,... since both of them nai EXIF file.

@koto: naa sa time.. if mag rent i'm sure there's a time limit.. so within that time limit ma tatak man na sa exif data... pretty simple...
