hahaha, i thot i was mavis fan anyway, i don't know where to slot this article -------------------------------------------------------- Photographers Are Not Authors, Says Judge in Google Book Case by: Erick Schonfeld November 05, 2009 The latest twist in the ongoing settlement talks between Google (GOOG) and book authors is that Wednesday, the judge in the case denied an attempt by photographers to become part of the settlement. In the decision (embedded below), Judge Denny Chin basically ruled that photographers are not authors, and that the settlement only covers “word-based material,” with the exception of illustrations in children’s books. The motion to join the suit was brought by the American Society of Media Photographers, the Graphic Artists Guild, the Picture Archive Council of America, the North American Nature Photographers Association, and several individual photographers. The current settlement is between Google and the Author’s Guild. The judge writes that the motion was filed to late, and that in any case, the current settlement does not preclude photographers from bringing their own lawsuit. Obviously, many books include photographs and illustrations. If a book is scanned into Google’s searchable database with a copyrighted image, it appears that Google might still be liable for displaying those images. At least that is what judge Chin suggests when he writes that the settlement does not copyright holders of “pictorial materials and binds them in no way.” I’ve asked Google for clarification on how it intends to deal with such issues.
i love badminton, photography and cycling but they have different costs and i have finite $ (until i win lotto ). initial costs: photography >>>> cycling >> badminton ongoing costs: cycling > badminton > photography susceptibility to upgradeitis: photography = cycling >>>> badminton
hahahah our boat seem look alike.. just difference is replace the word cycling with 'weekend' car and swap the initial cost between photog with the 'weekend' car. Lotto will solve all
Interesting... I you're the third person I know who has the exact same combination of hobbies.. That includes me... But I would amend the above a little as I think my scenario for costs though similar is slightly different ( In order left to right, most to least) initial costs: cycling >>>> photography>> badminton I started out with badminton then cycling. BOth way many more years before photography. So, I spent a whole lot more on bikes and equipment before cameras and lenses came along. ongoing costs: badminton > cycling > photography Well, if I play 2~3 sessions a week as I did some years ago, badminton costs a whole lot more compared to cycling unless for the rare occasion of bad tyres and punctures. My 1 year's maintenance on a bike is less than I would spend on shuttles! Photography is more of the electricity bills spent on charging the batteries, editing pictures on the PC and to run the dry cabinet susceptibility to upgrades: cycling > photography >>>> badminton Yes, hardly more than a month goes by without some new gadget on the bike. But I've not spent on any serious camera equipment (of any sort) in well over 6 months since the 5DmkII. And this weekend is the major upgrade for the bike in a while : Di2 !! I've not 'upgraded' anything on badminton in almost 3 years!
good point about electricity costs. i forgot to take those into account. to combine all 3 hobbies, i cycled to a badminton session then afterwards watched a bike race where i took some photos of brad wiggins (in the yellow jersey).
bro you are the expert! i was wondering what's 'pump house'... thought it was a new pub http://www.p3planningengineer.com/mb_open/mb brief.htm
