Curt has given me photos and original drawings in the past.. He is going to give me some additional meg stuff as well..
Anything I will use that Curt has taken will be fully credited (with a plug for the magazine as well) and he is aware..

I will only use a photo if I know its ok and being properly credited..

Hey, Joe! I would not think otherwise!

My comments were intended for the original poster, who is, apparently, a very decent guy and has explained his actions.

Just recently someone "lifted" one of my photos from the ADM web site and was using it on another site as part of his public profile. Despite my requests that he stop doing so, he wouldn't stop until the site owner closed down his membership and access. That was CLEARLY NOT the case here, but whenever a photo is used or posted by someone that is not the original photographer and the photographer's name is not provided my little alarm bells tend to go off.

I regret any problems or embarrassment that my post may have caused, but I do not regret bringing the concept of photo ownership and copyright to the forefront.....I think that it needs to be there every now and then.

Best regards to all!

John

I agree totally... No photo should be used without permission, and even with permission credit should be given whenever possible..
