You don't need to save them - they're perfectly happy!
Okay,
First up you need to check the copyright of the pictures down the bottom right to make sure you are allowed to just take them - probably they request you credit the author.
Normally you'd right click and save as but if you can't do that you may need to sign in: there should be a link at the top to see all sizes or download or something when you're on the photo. Click that and then you should be able to right click and save as.
check the copyright?
really Theo?
this is the INTERNET, no one gives a fuck about copyright
Can you not just right click on them and 'save image as', or are there too many?
Tried that but the pic comes up as filename Spaceball and it's GIF file.
The copyright info at the bottom says all rights reserved so they may have it set so you cant just right click and save.
why don't you contact the photographer
you cheapskate
Interesting question: Could a photographer refuse you permission to have photos of you?
I mean, it's their work but you're the subject. What are the legalities of this sort of thing? Bands are apparently allowed to stop people taking photos of them when they play massive venues but in small clubs who knows. It's the promoters who tend to be the big penises about that.
they may just come to your house
and stab you repeatedly about the head, face and body. Or maybe that's just me
under ARR you need to contact the owner of the copyright, the photographer. Most will let you use some stuff for myspace as long as it's watermarked and credited to the photographer
That doesn't answer my question.
I don't advocate stealing the images as he's done (I told him to check the copyright) but equally if we're talking about a photo of someone and they want a copy of it, are they legally entitled to it?
And if they're not are they legally entitled to ask the photographer not to use it.
Clearly I'm not talking about money here. If someone took a photo of me and is legally obliged to let me have a copy, and then I use it as the cover of a best-selling album I owe them their share.
the answer to both your questions is no
I try to play nice and have taken a few photos offline at the request of the artists, every one of them female, because they were pregnant, hadn't shaved etc
where's fishplums to ban this thread ROMAN POLANSKI!!!
I just deleted those posts. You should have asked me to before! :D
How come you have no legal rights to your image? Or is it just if you're out in public? Even so, doesn't what you're saying mean that you could take a photo of me walking down the street and sell it to be used for lots of money in an advertising campaign and I wouldn't have any recourse for that?
Well we gave no permission for them to be taken, and didnt even know
the photographer was going to be there. I have no problems at all especially since the pictures are very good. The person seemed really sound. I emailed them 2 weeks ago with no response and as we realyl want to use the pics for promotional reasons I just want to have a couple to play with. Given the circumstances do you think the person would be within their rights to charge for them? Like u say it's an interesting question. Dont want to upset anyone though.
just ask _vikram
any time anyone on here wants to steal copyrighted photos he comes in and tells them how. That clown attracts zombies
I think to use them as you're doing is immoral.
I wouldn't knowingly do that but I'd be pretty pissed off if I contacted someone who'd taken a photo of my band live to put those pics on our MySpace and they said I would have to pay them.
I've given stuff away for myspace
but I've also said no and demanded payment when it's been a gig in a Carling Academy and the photos were clearly worth some kind of payment for their use. And I now wouldn't give anything away as my insurance alone costs more than most people will ever spend on camera gear or a guitar. Bands don't go to recording studios and say they want to record a demo for free but will credit the studio and producer on myspace
Yeah, fair dos.
I guess Tito's band could be big news. I just assumed it was some shots from the audience in the Bull & Gate or something.
Case by case basis, though: People will get free recording or extra work off those that appreciate the band enough.
Hehe, hopefully we will be big news but not just yet.
they were taken at a venue in tooncastle but the person must have had a pretty good camera and an eye for a good picture as they are really good. We just want to use them on the myspace and website as live shots and we will link back to her flickr page (which i said in my email) and also maybe use some of them for posters. Thats it. Not trying to earn money off them or anything. I think essentially my stance is if you want to take a pic of me fine, but as I haven't asked you to dont ask me to pay for them if i want to use them. It would abviously be different if we had asked her to come down and agreed a fee etc... prior.
Harrumm, you owe her money in my view if that's the case.
A MySpace image is low quality and generally most people wouldn't notice but y'know:
1) You've just admitted she's got great skills; this isn't like you wanted some photos of that gig they happen to have a few half-decent ones.
2) Posters are still a pretty big deal. I mean, she may well waive rights if she thinks her name on those posters will get her more commissioned work but you are now talking about profiting from her stuff.
"I think essentially my stance is if you want to take a pic of me fine, but as I haven't asked you to dont ask me to pay for them if i want to use them."
You can take whatever stance you like, but in the eyes of the law, you're wrong on this one. Unless you own the private property that a photo gets taken on.
Assuming that these pics are copyrighted (or other rights reserved, as opposed to the less common 'copylefted', where all rights are waived), then I'm sure the photographer would be fine for you to use their pics for low-res promo use if you give credit and link back to them. I'd expect them to be pretty narked if you used them for something like posters where money was changing hands (even if you're not making any 'serious' money from the sales).
"hopefully we will be big news but not just yet."
Good luck and all, but you'll need to know your legals if you're gonna be 'big'. If you have one/once you get one, I'd expect your manager to be able to handle this in the early stages.
Not wanting to be a divot, but I'm guessing you'd not expect paying if someone played your tune at an indie disco or in a bar or whatever, but you'd want paying if someone used your music for, e.g., an advert or theme tune.
then you should have got your mates to take photos at the gig
I don't follow
Well I would
but then I would also know how to get a copy of said image if I wanted to without contacting the photographer.
But I'm talking in hypotheticals.
how do you do that? never heard of such a thing! stealing photos off flickr! whatever next! :)
Let's keep it that way.
i think you need to delete the mixtape threads - encourages copyright infringement
I think you might want to put your toys back in your pram before someone steps on them.
i think you need to explain why you deleted the post!
See the other thread.
Photography: Know your rights.

Haven't delved through it properly, but this is the way I understand it: in public, being in the photo means squat ("reasonable privacy" aside). Ownership of the photo (taken in a public place) is with the photographer. The photographer on private premises may have an arrangement with some third party to sell the rights to some of their photos, but wherever a photo is published, the rights holder should be acknowledged, so you know. As Theo said, Flickr pages have this info easily accessible.
Some choice snippets:
"Home Office Minister Tony McNulty MP has commented on the current legal situation regarding privacy: 'There is no legal restriction on photography in public places, and there is no presumption of privacy for individuals in a public place.'"
"Property owners have no right to stop people taking photos of their buildings, so long as the photographer is standing in a public place (e.g. the road outside)."
"However, if you're standing on private property and the landowner/occupier objects, then they have every right to request that you stop immediately and ask you to leave if you refuse."
"Many museums, art galleries, football grounds, concert venues and similar places ban photography as a condition of entry, so you can hardly complain if you get turfed out after you've whipped out your camera."
"The same applies to all private property open to the public in general - e.g. offices, shops, even your local chippy - with the owner or occupier having the right to demand that you stop taking photos and get the hell out."
"The Terrorism Act 2000 (Section 44 has been erroneously used several times by PCSOs to take details of photographers deemed to be acting 'suspiciously')."
"Unless you've crawled into a nuclear bunker and have been caught red handed taking photos of things marked 'TOP SECRET' it's unlikely that you've actually broken any laws."
"Once images are recorded, [the police] have no power to delete or confiscate them without a court order, even if [the police] think they contain damaging or useful evidence."
"The guidelines also warn that any police officer who deletes a photographer's images could face criminal, civil or disciplinary action."
"Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Shahid Malik) said 'I want to be clear about this: the offence does not capture an innocent tourist taking a photograph of a police officer, or a journalist photographing police officers as part of his or her job. It does not criminalise the normal taking of photographs of the police. Police officers have the discretion to ask people not to take photographs for public safety or security reasons, but the taking of photographs in a public place is not subject to any rule or statute. There are no legal restrictions on photography in a public place, and there is no presumption of privacy for individuals in a public place.'"
