[Vision2020] RE: Dale Courtney

[Steven Simmons]

The general idea is that you can't publish works unless YOU have a 
copyright, and you don't have it unless the creator of that work gives 
you express permission.

This might be wishy-washy for e-mails, but photographs are very 
definitely copyrighted the minute they are created, so any photo you 
look at is copyrighted. It is only in the "public domain" if its creator 
was the government, then by definition it belongs to all of us, as we 
are the government.

"If anyone finds one, please let me know and I'll pull it immediately."

So, I would say that any image on your site that you did not create or 
recieve permission from the creator, please take them down. Also, 
including an image from someone else's server in your webpage does not 
mean you are not violating their copyright. You are still publishing 
their work, and beyond that you are stealing their bandwidth by 
'hotlinking'. As a webmaster, I would be doubly angry about that.

Anyone publishing borrowed content should know about copyright law. Here 
is a great site you should read up on: www.whatiscopyright.org

Glad I could be of assistance in helping you be fair and honest and 
correct your mistakes, as you seem to be a man very concerned with the 
truth.

Kindly,

Steven Simmons
