How would people feel about an online gallery open to all abpo members as a
place to post and permanently preserve images??? -- Yours Sincerely Kye |

Whoa, what an idea! Are you offering? I know that many have looked for
images that were posted years ago, but were unable to access them. Only fitting that the founder of abpo would create an update! Diana "Kye" wrote in message ...

Would you provide copyright protection in the archive? On individual
pictures? On each individual's pictures? I have reservations about others accessing the pictures and stealing the whole group for their own use. Gareth Wills "Kye" wrote in message ...

Would this site be password protected to ensure access by abpo members only - which begs the question, what is an abpo member considering abpo is an open usenet forum? Not sure how this would work. Can you please expand your idea? How do you see it working? Cheers John "V_coerulea" wrote in message ... Would you provide copyright protection in the archive? On individual pictures?

Whatever I post is already "permanently" archived at my own site. It would
sort-of preclude the need to even post here any more. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies. Books, Artwork, and lots of Free Info!

almost 1000 pictures already archived.... I am not convinced, however, that all of the pictures in this "archive" actually came from here. I am sure there are other archives to be found.

Thanks Al for directing me to a site that is using many of my photos posted
on ABPO without permission or acknowledgment. Raises the question about posting to the Internet either in usenet groups or picture sites such as Flickr and the subsequent use of ones photos for profit. I note that this site is also using many photos from various posters who have marked them as copyright. Seems to make no difference. I am now starting to question whether I will continue to post to usenet. I note that Eric has stopped posting here.

Kye, I would still post here. One of the special features of the ng is the
friendship & interaction that goes with postings. eg. did you notice the enthusiasm with which Mariana ("Jane Doe") was welcomed back? I can't see that the same sense of fellowship would go with an archival gallery.

Kye,
I wouldn't oppose it (if done as opt-in rather than opt-out) but don't see a strong need. Everything I post is already on my own website and Flickr. -Eric in SF www.orchidphotos.org "Kye" wrote in message ...

Kath and everyone,
Work is always busy, but the main reason for the absence is a lull in the orchid photography and a surge in the non-orchid photography. I've not really photographed much that was super-exciting. There will be a lot coming - I need to get back to Golden Gate Orchids and the next Pleurothallid Alliance meeting is at Bob/Johns/Joe/Dan's place in Pacifica - should have a slew of new things from there. I've also spent a lot of time moving www.plantworld.org over to a new hosting company - that's pretty much done. Now I've got a lot of non-orchid plant photography to work on, so if you're on Flickr, you'll see a lot more stuff. -Eric in SF www.orchidphotos.org "K Barrett" wrote in message ...

John,
Nah, see my other post for why I've not been around. Photo piracy, like Music and Video piracy, is a fact of life, and while I police it when and where I find it, I'm going to continue posting. Too many people benefit from all of our work and time in documenting the rich plant life on this planet for thieves to stop that. Of course, everyone has to make that decision for themselves. I'll check out that site and if I think a nicely composed email outlining what can happen to those who use photos without permission will be useful, I'll send it. -Eric in SF www.orchidphotos.org "John Varigos" wrote in message om... starting to question whether I will continue to post to usenet. I note that Eric has stopped posting here. |
