> Can anybody tell me where I can find a default text > forbidding the use of photos posted on a site? "you toucha my photos, i breaka you face" sorry, couldn't resist ;o) here's how phil greenspun (database übergeek) does it -- http://www.photo.net/philg/nasty-copyright-notice.html except that you'll notice he does not forbid use of his photos, and does not expect payment either nevertheless it's an interesting read here are a couple more, adapted from phil's (hence the similar tenor, allowing people to use the photos but retaining all rights) -- http://www.vad1.com/photo/copyright.html http://joecarr.ca/copyright.htm finally, here's a site with probably more links than you'll want to follow -- The 411 on Copyright for Net Photos http://www.gsu.edu/~lawppw/lawand.papers/KB4.html rudy
