Terms here. Even outcasts such as yourself can read them.

 

 

 

Free and sub-licensable, basically. (6) is about syndication- interesting in the context of the Telegraph/Yahoo question on another thread. So not only giving it away, but giving away rights to sell it as well. Phew.

Grant of rights in the Work

The legal copyright in the Work is retained by you. By your agreement to these Terms, you give us the rights in the Work which are set out below. Subject to these Terms and in particular the proviso for commissioned Work below, Our rights in the Work are non-exclusive, which means that you can also use the Work as you wish at the same time as we use it.

Where an original Work is specifically commissioned by us or you are a commissioned blogger or citizen journalist, you give us the exclusive right to first use of the Work in any medium as permitted by these Terms.  If there is a delay of more than 90 days from our receipt of the Work to its first use by us, then you may apply to the Editor for a written waiver of our exclusive right to first use, which will not be unreasonably refused.

While you retain copyright in the Work, We shall have the following rights (some of which may overlap), which are worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable and sub-licensable:

  1. the right to use and re-use the Work in any of our Publications;
  2. the right to syndicate or make spot sales of the Work (directly or through agencies) for its use in Publications published by third parties;
  3. the right to use your Work in any archive or database in any medium or format and to make such archive or database available to the public (whether or not for a fee);
  4. the right to edit, amend, cut, translate or otherwise alter your Work as we may consider appropriate;
  5. the right to make compilations of your Works for the same uses licensed by this agreement;
  6. the right to authorise NLA Media Access (formerly the Newspaper Licensing Agency) and similar reprographic rights agencies to distribute or license the distribution of your Work (or links to your Work in our Publications online) for its licensed purposes as may be amended from time to time;
  7. the right to authorise third party electronic information providers (for example Lexis Nexis or Factiva) to use your Work as used in our Publications in their databases in any medium or format for searching and copying by their end users and to sub-license your Work for use in Publications by their third party publisher customers;
  8. in the case of Work commissioned or purchased for commercial editorial uses, such as sponsored supplements or advertorials, the right to authorise the use of the Work in the Publications of our commercial clients;
  9. the right to use the title, format and any pseudonym associated with the Work; and
  10. the right to use the Work and any image of you or other personal details for the purposes of publicity or marketing or any other purpose in connection with the exercise of our rights under this agreement with you.

If you exercise any of your retained rights in respect of the Work, you agree to ensure that your use will not conflict with our use of the Work or any other of our legitimate commercial interests, and you will procure an acknowledgement to us and our relevant Publication in any further use you might make of your Work, together with a link to the Work on our relevant website wherever possible.

You acknowledge that as a matter of law moral rights do not arise in connection with current affairs reporting or any publication in newspapers or magazines, but to the extent that moral rights may be applicable to any use of a Work permitted under this agreement you waive all such moral rights unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing with the Editor. However we will try to maintain author's by-lines in our Publications where we can.

We reserve the right to seek from you a written assignment of copyright if we think it necessary.

Payment

We will only pay a fee and/or a share of syndications and spot sales that has been expressly agreed in writing by or on behalf of the Editor of the relevant Publication in advance of commission or on acceptance of a Work. Otherwise your Work is considered, commissioned or accepted by us without a fee or share and you agree that the opportunity to have your Work considered or published for use by us is adequate consideration for the rights granted to us in this agreement. If a fee is agreed, it will be a single all-inclusive fee for all the rights granted above. The fee will be fixed at our prevailing standard rates, as may be published and varied from time to time, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Editor. The fee includes the cost of delivering the Work and all expenses incurred by you in researching and creating it, except for any expenses specifically approved in advance by the Editor in writing. Provided that the Work is delivered and complies with these Terms (and any additional or substitute terms agreed in writing), payment will be made at the end of the month following the month of our first use of the Work.

Have just joined the FB page...Would you mind if I shared your blog post on it? For as long as it lasts!

Maybe lots of us could do that and at least they'll be wasting time in checking and deleting posts..... :ph34r:

I'll do the same when approved if that's OK. I'll wait until Phil's has been deleted.

BTW I believe the Rebublic of Paranoia still uses the kudos as currency. One kudos is divided into 100 rants.

They used to used molumbo beads until the molumbos complained about being chiselled into loose change.

Feel free Phil, A few people from another FB group 'Stop working for free' joined, commented and were all banned.

Thanks to Mark for posting the TOS, I'll edit the blog post to include them.

They appear to be engaging with us. Interesting. I've already had one contributor say he didn't realise what he was giving away and considering deleting. Result. Even got a "like" from him, whatever that is.

 

Quite fun lobbing grenades about that group.

Sadly, local rags have been doing this, in various guises for years. BBC Wales uses one every night during the weather forecast and the amateurs wet their pants every time one of theirs is used. Next step will be to charge the amateurs a small fee for the privilege of seeing their pictures used. Given the way Alamy is going, along with many other libraries they won't be long following.

Wow, my "membership" didn't last very long. Already kicked out after two minutes  :lol:

I wonder why?  :o

 

Cheers,

Philippe

I didn't spot any of your posts- care to post a link, if they haven't been deleted? I've annoyed someone already, he said he sold on SS and G and has 5 greetings cards with his images on them- I told him he should know better then.

I haven't even tried to join but, you have to wonder how many people accepted in the group, who post photos, actually own the copyright to these images. For the most part, Facebook is a place for "photo sharers" and most of the images are low resolution photos  found elsewhere on the internet. They may find sourcing photos on FB is far more trouble than it's worth.

One can only hope. Or it may be yet another source of infringements that we have to deal with :(:angry:

A little off topic but I note the BBC show images from people contributing via "Weatherwatch".

 

Those images shown on the weather program are mostly termed by the presenter as "marvellous, beautiful," etc.

 

All I tend to see are images of flat landscapes with a bit of green grass, a bit of blue sky with a cloud or two and maybe a couple of trees.

 

Not much competition there then.
