Thanks for the insight. No idea though why you downloaded/purchased an image first and checked the licensing terms AFTER...
"A collegue purchased an xbox image"Any how, thats enough, thanks for your help

I'm very confused right now.
If you take a picture created by another photographer than you and post it in any way (without obtaining a license or getting the photographer's consent) it's already copyright infringement, regardless if there is a Playstation in the picture.
As mentioned before there is a copyright of the picture itself which lays with the photographer and then you might have to clear the rights for contents shown in the image (Playstation).
I mean what would the point be of selling licenses of editorial images (IS, Getty, Alamy, Corbis, AP etc.) if you can just grab a photo off the internet (for free) and post it on your site even if it's not commercially used?
I'm afraid I don't understand your question correctly...
right - when i sell, eg, a camera on ebay, i can use the stock image that ebay provides for that camera, which is authorized by the manufacturer; but i CAN't grab the image some ofther seller has taken of that same camera and use it in my auction.
According to uk law, if you are using any image in accordance referenced in the formentioned link that is legal, which, amoungst others, is why editorial images we see in neswpapers can contain logos without consent

OK, just for Click. The two posts are unrelated, so what ever assumptions you have made are just that. Sue is correct, I was uploading an editorial image I purchased from IS to the printers when her fast reply saved my bacon, I stopped the FTP upload inserted the credit and continued with the upload. (again many thanks) The thread relating to the use of an image without consent is unrelated to the editorial image. But again, just for you A collegue purchased an xbox image (nothing special, isolated on white from IS) microsoft have an image libruary which is free to use and I wanted to check UK law on using their "official" image as well as the microsoft Ts & Cs. It turns out we wasted our credits as the image supplied by microsoft was perfect, legal and free, and came with less restrictions on usage. PS I will not be asking for a refund

Well that has allowed me to update the cache, but there's still no "the file was previously downloaded on"
I'm betting there is one more simple step, help?

OMG, how simple was that.
Thanks

They only cut the XS price, but increase the prices for L and XL at the same time. It makes sense. Because XS images are more likely to be used by small businesses and bloggers. For those who buy L and XL images, it's perceivable they can afford high prices.
I don't agree with your post "Because XS images are more likely to be used by small businesses and bloggers." to me you thats like saying small pizza stores make small pizzas!

Thanks so much,
I'll stop that FTP upload right now!

Do I have to credit Istock or the photographer, both or none if using an editorial image purched from Istock
(I have to ask here as you are all great, this is a great forum, and I'm banned from the IS forum)
Thanks

Thank you for you time, I also came across: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/contents#30 Criticism, review and news reporting. answers what I was trying to ask and yes, 31 Incidental inclusion of copyright material. is interesting, but as with all things, defining incidental opens more questions. For my purpose, I have to now define news reporting ie, if I simply say "these new playstations are black" or "We played on this and it was great" will that constitute news reporting and reviewing therefore I can use the Play Station image (extream I know, but these lines are hard to define)

Hi, I would like to ask "When can copyrighted images be used without concent" (assuming all images are copyrighted as soon as they are taken, that means all/any image)
I'm not interested in your opinions here, just facts, and I am talking about the UK.
I read that one could use (take from the web) images, of a playstation for example, without concent from the copyright owners, sony for example, and provided the image is used in the context of reporting in a newsworthy fashion in newspapers and the like, about exploding playstations for example, that fell into some kind of allowable use.
I understand that for advertising and promotional this is not allowed, but for reporting and newsworthy content do other rules apply and where can i find them
Links to creditable sources of information are very much appreciated
Thank you

Hi, I used to have a script (which was awesome) installed on IS that would tell me if I had already downloaded and image. Of late I have noticed that images I have purchased in the past are not being flaged up by the script. Has anything changed that I am not aware of
Thank you in advance

Yes, I do, but that can be to logical a step in order to be creative. you have to poke the fire in order to generate some heat, if you know what I mean.

I'd use my 5-1000 f1.2 IS L - since we are in fantasy land.
Maybe I could use a heap of cameras with different sensor sizes to make up for the lack of different lenses.
Mine is bigger than yours but of course lighter. Made from nano tubes.
Its a M series canon lens (next in the alphabet)
M series is so exclusive you've never heard of it,
Instead of white it grey, not battle ship grey (N series) but a special shade of grey that is one shade tougher than gun metal grey.
1- 9142mm f0.01 IS M
The IS works by moving the universe around the lens through quantum plasma transpiration.
24-105mm is probably 90% of my shots.
Bunch of p**s takers , im due a 800 tax rebate and was trying to uncover an awesome idea I'm yet to have

41
« on: July 20, 2012, 09:38 »
I agree, and I'm not kicking off either. but is this use allowed?

I used google image finder to locate some of my images and there is this guy who has a web portfolio. On his site he is displaying website pages he has created and one uses my images, clearly as a mock up, but watermarked nonetheless. is this allowed? http://www.lintzadesign.ro/#workdesign portfolio with the watches Thanks

Canon 16-600 L f2.8 IS II 
Weak. I'd go for Canon 14-800 L f/1.2 IS III. Myeah, that should do.
MAY I ADD FROM YOUR EXISTING KIT

Unfortunately I cannot post the main thing that I would like to say regarding refunds for fear of repercussions but I will say I'm in total agreement that refunds should only be given to upgrade a file. The monkey script that tells buyers if they have already purchased an image should be standard when logged in. And as an incentive to IS to stop this happening, THEY should incur the costs to a contribute

If one lens then it has to be a quality piece of glass.

I assume thats 1.4 on a FF

Can a buyer make changes to an editorial image purchased on IS. by changes I specifically mean change the days left on the london olympic clock
Thanks
(can't ask this on IS)

« on: July 19, 2012, 03:19 »
If this were true, what would you choose.
please indicate if you shoot FF or crop.
(I'm hoping this will get me thinking differently)
