Disclaimer:
This is not a competition. These are not “the best” photos on Steemit. These are just photos I have discovered by going through Steemit pages. Just enjoy and comment wherever you want…
You know I think it would be only fair you split up at least 50% -75% of the payout and sent it to the people's photos you use. Since you are profiting from their work and they did all of the work. They not even get votes or if the post dead.
This is not a contest they did not submit, and legally this is questionable.
You are, of course, completely right.
I also agree
I think this too.. It would be a great honor. So we can all be glad, and you too. Please share it with others. ok.
I'm afraid you don’t understand the concept of curation. Please follow @steemtrail or join Steemtrail Discord.
I afraid you don't understand "Copyright Law" and that most of the people who's work you are using are making next to nothing and you all of a sudden out of no where are making $300 - $500 a post and keeping it, and the Artists are getting nothing in spite of years of training, practice and thousands of dollars of equipment.
You're giving them nothing and this is a commercial use that you are profiting from which under the copyright law would given each one of them $150,000 in statutory damages if they registered their copyright which I always do just for this reason.
You can sing and dance all you want about curation in your channel but that does not supersede U.S. Copyright Law.
Voting and resteeming are different than taking images off someone else's pages, creating a post and then keeping the payout. Crediting them does not give you permission, they must. This is why every Magazine has photographers and models sign releases. People are being sued for this on IG right as we speak.
If people want to give you permission to use their images and you make a post and they don't want a cut that's fine.
But you can't go around taking people's work without asking for their permission or you are violating copyright law and they are then subject to damages. The internet has not voided all laws as many ignorant people think.
But most copyright violations go on unnoticed until someone starts profiting from someone else work and they are getting nothing.
And for your information part of a curators job is to content the artist and obtain permission to include their work in the museum shows and artist often paid or get residencies. If the work as been sold then the contact the owner of the work. In the current situation with Banksy because he is Anonymous and Paints on other people property he forfeits his rights by not claiming them.
This is why artist struggle... People please visit and follow the Artists/Photogrphers and support them directly not someone profiting from their hard work and years of dedication to their art.
I am a lawyer. You should learn to read laws better.
Then you should know better. Please state the Statutes you think allows you to take other people copyrighted images and used them for a purpose of profit so I can show them to my Lawyer and the other photographers can do the same.
Laws aside you really think this is ethical... You do nothing but take peoples work and write some text which would doubtfully pass and an editorial (which still requires permission, but will allow exceptions for trademarks being in the images, etc) and they are making nothing and you $300 - $500 a post a day?
I'm working here and I don't have the time to teach you the obvious. But you should go to your Lawyer and let him explain it to you, he is paid for that.
People are being sued right now for taking other people's images and using them as content to monetize on their accounts. You're fronting and hiding behind a pseudo-name. You have no clue about the laws or what's going on right now.
The circuit courts will decided soon enough and establish legal precedence in this new internet age, but so far you can't do it.
Curation on the steemit platform is done with voting and you receive a payout from that. You can't steal other people content, you're a shit lawyer if you believe that and I know enough lawyers to know you're not one.
Thank you for your contribution to jurisprudence. Good luck to you.
Bollocks. You are violating copyright law in most countries of the world. Your being a lawyer is irrelevant.
Some photographers may like being mentioned in your trail, some may not, and some may like to get a cut of your profits, to each his own, and I'm fine with that.
Just don't say using other people's photos for profit without permission is perfectly OK. It isn't, and it is illegal in most countries.
First you should learn what illegal use is, if you want to talk about it. You should know what is explicite and implicite consent. Instead, you decide to attack. I'm sorry @ocrdu, your reaction is emotional and irrational.
It's Dutch law, which is very similar to most copyright law in other countries. Quite rational, in fact.
Can you cite it please?
Great selection again :)
Now I go check the authors pages.
Uped and resteemed too.
Hello. Thank you for posting all these photos!
Thanks again for the mention! There are some really great shots in here!
Direct link to my original post HERE
I look forward to connecting with other photographers.
Upvoted & resteemed!
Amazing photos.Upvoted
Can amateur photographers enter as well?
I don't have any nice camera just my lg g5 camera phone, so no real stats to give about my pictures...
Yes there are EXIF informations in your picture. They are important and it would be very nice if you could send them along your photo.
This is not a competition, so you are in as soon as you produce quality original photo, or have a relevant text on photography.
Do you mean like hdr?
No, not HDR. HDR is effect on your camera. EXIF are data encrypted to your every .jpg. Can be seen, for example, if you use Faststone Image Viewer – open the picture and press “I”.
It looks like this:
So this will remain constant on my phone for all pictures?
Yes, those info are automatically recorded.
Ok so ill download the app on my phone to get the stats, then i can just copy and paste that onto each picture, correct?
Amazing pics. Different styles. portraits, landscapes, street. Great stuff
Nice set as always!
Thank You for putting my challenge in here !! :)
