I absolutely agree with everything he says. Except that I go a step further and put Creative Commons (non-commercial) licensing on almost all my photographs, to make free use explicit (with specific limitations). I also like that he tells people to *register* their copyrights. You can't bring legal action (at least in the U.S.) if you haven't actually registered your copyright, so putting a innocuous watermark on your image as he recommends won't do you much good if someone big enough to sue actually does make commercial use of your images. * Register your copyright * Watermark discreetly * Share non-commercially for free -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
