[thelist] copyrights and linking

[James S. Huggins (Evolt)]

=============================
my friend has since heard from her former employer at politicswatch.com

He told her that he was fine with her linking to the photos, thanked her for
agreeing that copying the photos would be a copyright infringement and then
proceeded to tell her that they plan to move the photos to a secure server
and that if she wants to syndicate their content she can do so for as little
as $30 per day.
=============================

When/if the graphics are no longer available thru direct linking, her next
step is to link to the articles "containing" them.

Sigh.

It is unfortunate that people who do own the property seem so reticent to
let the actual creator reference the property as examples of the work.
