Good idea Q8. I have a fiction story posted online on my website and knew that someone might want to steal it as well, so I licenced it under the Creative Commons licence. If you start your own site to display your writings you may want to investigate it as well.

Well said, Q8. I should perhaps add, in this context, that the Administrators here should consider deleting the unattributed extract of the Dewi Williams Ealing Common picture I posted here in the 'oil lamps' thread. Dewi kindly gave me permission to reproduce his picture on my 3rd and 4th rails webpage, as is acknowledged there, and I was using the extract of the picture here merely as a shorthand means of aiding a discussion. My webpage is admittedly on the large size, and a reference there would have been somewhat cumbersome and inefficient. You're right though, I should have qualified the copyright as Dewi's.
So what should I do in the future if I want to ask you guys to enlighten me on a particular feature/extract of someone else's photograph?

So what should I do in the future if I want to ask you guys to enlighten me on a particular feature/extract of someone else's photograph? Given that you are not using it to make money for yourself, a simple credit to the author of the work and where it appeared is usually considered sufficient. In this instance a link to Dewi's website. (Well worth a visit if anyone hasn't already.) Clicking on the "modify" button on the post concerned means you can still give credit.  If it has been scanned from a book, then a note of the title, author, publisher and date should be made. If you do use something to make money for yourself, or the company who employs you etc, then the author will want a share and should be contacted to arrange a suitable fee. But that can vary depending on the exact usage. These aren't hard and fast rules but seem to satisfy most of the people I've had dealings with in such matters.  |

Ah! I didn't realise that messages could be modified, but I found the "modify" button, and have reloaded an altered image. It isn't showing up yet on my server (ntl can take up to a couple of hours sometimes to refresh all its caches etc), but hopefully it might come up soon.
A most excellent facility.
