Re: [Aroid-l] people on eBay using photos without permission

From: "Michael Marcotrigiano" <mmarcotr at email.smith.edu> on 2007.07.02 at 19:48:55(15921) Generally it is acceptable to say " to see other images of this plant go to XXXX's site and see image xxx" - directing someone to someone else's page is not a form of plagiarism. +More _______________________________ Michael Marcotrigiano, Ph.D Director of the Botanic Garden and Professor of Biological Sciences Smith College, Lyman Conservatory, College Lane Northampton, MA 01063 email: mmarcotr@smith.edu voice: 413-585-2741; fax: 413-585-2744 www.smith.edu/garden ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper, That we may record our emptiness. ~ Kahlil Gibran >>> Don Martinson 7/2/2007 1:20 PM >>> I think we all agree that using someone ¹s photos is wrong and most likely illegal, even if legal proceedings are impractical. However, what if someone merely posts a link to your site, as in: ³A photo of this plant may be found at http://www.basilsplantpage.com ² What if the site is a commercial with an on-ling catalog? I have never done this, but have wondered if it would be viewed the same as simply taking a photo and publishing it without permission or attribution.
