but if they put the picture with watermarks they are giving credit to the person, so this sort of ok no? or what about the creative common licenses? it cant be used?

***AltinD*** · May 28th, 2007, 06:20 PM

Even if they (Emporis) didn't, Betterhomes is a business entity so they can't use someone's elses job/hobby (like Imre, Tom_Green, me and others) and make money out of it. They either have to do the job themselves or pay the "freelancers" who did it.

As simple as that.

jixline · May 29th, 2007, 01:38 PM

so why not use a free creative common license?

DUBAI · May 29th, 2007, 05:26 PM

You seem to fail to realise that they are effectivly exploiting the people who did the original work by taking there efforts for free and making money out of it.

it is stealing.

this is the point. if your work is not licensed for commercial use (as per your type of license), and they use it, maybe whoever took the pictures can sue them or at least this will be a deterrant for them

DUBAI · May 31st, 2007, 05:31 PM

Somehow i doubt it.

Krazy · June 5th, 2007, 04:25 AM

as long as the tower under construction looks similar to a render... i dont think too many GN readers will realize the "mistake"

Krazy · June 5th, 2007, 03:33 PM

I contacted the senior editors of emporis about Better Homes using my images with emporis watermarks on them... they said they would take care of it

Naz UK · June 6th, 2007, 08:57 AM

They'll "take care of it"??? Samir, come on, we don't want people to be killed over this, cant you just accept some compensation??

***AltinD*** · June 6th, 2007, 01:03 PM

It seams like you personally knows people there that might be "effected" by Emporis "actions".
