Are your photos safe on Flickr? Another Philippine Copyright Violation by a Local Daily in Cebu
June 27, 2008
Just when you think the news is out about Photographers fighting to protect their rights online.. here is another copyright violation story about Photos of taken from a flickr account and used in a Cebu Daily.
How did i find out about this? someone posted a link to my story and i was checking the sources of traffic and decided to click on the link and check out what they were saying about my case vs. manila bulletin but instead i find out that another copyright violation has happened.. this time philippine photographers with photos on flickr.. and a Cebu Daily.
“are you aware na ginamit ang pics natin sa isang local newspaper sa cebu?”

<—thats the print out. and the image of mine used was my image of the ferris wheel in slow shutter”

What to do? Here is something I wrote on how to deal with someone stealing you photos online..
I think the photographers should unite and fight violations agaisnt our copyright.. how do we do it? I dont know.. a suggestion made by a fellow photographer was to use my case and show up during the first hearing to show that the community of photographers are united against copyright violation against photographers..
any other suggestions are most welcome…
