COPYRIGHT
kensmith:
I would like to remind all members about this Websites policy with regard to use of Copyright Material which is I feel clearly laid out in the rules.
7. Copyright protection
When uploading, members must comply with Copyright Law.
Post only Photographs or Videos for which you have copyright ownership. Other peoples slides or negatives can only be used if their name and permission is stated in the description. if you are in possession of a collection or own slides or photographs that have been purchased or acquired by other means but are not certain of the copyright owner you must NOT upload to the website, all photographs not taken or owned by the member must clearly state in the description the name of the person that owns the copyright and that you the member has approval to upload them to this website.
Any photographs that are uploaded that do not meet the criteria above regarding copyright will be deleted and the member will be contacted. It will then be up to the member to prove that the copyright conditions can be met and until such information is given the photo cannot be re- uploaded. Unknown photographer or just a name is not acceptable as a description.
If a member is contacted concerning copyright infringement and confirms that they consider them to be free of copyright or have the correct permissions to use them and they are re-uploaded on the website then the member must accept his/her responsibility for any possible legal challenge for copyright violation, the website cannot be held responsible.
Scans of Ship Photographs from publications are not allowed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to emphasis that should a Legal Challenge be made against any suspected breach of Copyright Law then the person that uploaded the photo must accept full responsibility, this Website does not accept any responsibility, we have accepted it in Good Faith.
I do not want to see this develop into another long discussion so please accept this as a Statement of Fact, if it does become out of hand then I will Lock It.
Kind Regards

Thanks Ken.

I have recently noticed, within the last month or two, a greater number of posted "oldie" photographs that were shot a long time ago; some of them from the 1960s (and so ...) and some of them even from 1930s.
On many of such "oldie" photographs is only mentioned that they are coming from various "collections" and, moreover, nothing is mentioned in the description about the origin of the photograph i.e. the actual Photographer who captured the relevant photograph.
Mentioning the NAME OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER (the actual Photographer) is essential to maintain the Copyright to be in good order.
Also, by adding the statement "Posted with permission of the photographer" makes everything to be in even better order regarding the Copyright.
However, the photographs I am herewith referring to, are posted without any, and they are certainly lacking, the Name of the actual Photographer.
I would kindly ask the website Administration to take further 'continuous care & eye' on the posted photographs that were shot in the 'past and very past time' , in way to secure that the Name of the actual Photographer is provided under the posted image.
And may I conclude with a please, dear members of the site, post "your old" photographs from your collection(s) provided with the information and statement:
Name of Photographer; photo posted with permission
Also in addition, the stated date of capture (at least approximate date) would be much welcome
Thank you all,
Jadran

Hi Keith
I'm also of elder age (very soon 65) and I have sailed having a "Seaman Book" in 1966, 67 and 68 ..... therefore I deeply respect, what you nicely said, the elder sailors and their heritage.
However, this Websites policy with regard to use of Copyright Material, should be well considered and duly followed by all of us site members, regardless of our age and marine experience.
Kind regards
Jadran
