POSTING IMAGES on this Forum - Please respect COPYRIGHT

6369 Views 3 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  Newcastle Historian
For the purposes of THIS forum the guidance on the use of images within postings is as follows:

When quoting images to which you don't hold copyright, ensure that the image can be used under fair use and provide the source name and link with the image.

There is no requirement to identify photographs for which you hold copyright - only photographs and other images, scans etc must have the source identified. This is especially important when using any images from Flickr as any failures to not mention the source could possible lead to Flickr not permitting linking.

Please ensure that only 10 images are included in any one posting.

It will also be appreciated if images can be no more than 1100 pixels wide, anything larger throws the screen off to the left and makes it difficult for members viewing the forum using tablets and other such mobile devices.

Worth mentioning that if using screen dumps from the likes of Google Earth, then the source should be detailed in the posting, i.e. Image copyright Google Earth and also the site on which you are posting the resultant image, i.e. hosted on www.photobucket.12345.com

If the above is complied with there is no contravention of the fair use policy.

Can I remind all members of the requirements required when linking images to the forum.

Please ensure the requirements concerning source of image and size are complied with.
