I recently had to pull an entry for using copyrighted material without permission. I don't like doing that. So don't do it.

Here's what the PSC FAQ says:
Quote:
Q: Can I use copyrighted material in my entries?
A: Not unless you contact the proper owners of the image and obtain permission. Contact them first, you may be surprised at how many will give you the OK.

Q: An image of mine has been placed on your site without my permission!
A: We try out best to keep the site free other people's hard work. Sometimes, however, our users sneak one past us. We will promptly remove any offending image and warn the author. If they have been warned before for the same reason, we will delete their account and ban them from using our site. In short, we will do everything possible to clear the site of any unwanted presence of your copyrighted material in a timely manner.


Thanks.
Also, don't use this thread to call people out, or anything.
It's just FYI.
Now get back to work!

I wouldn't dream of calling anyone out. I would be interested in a link to the protected material just to make sure I don't make the same mistake. Smile See?

why would you need a link, just aks for the people's permission or read the copyrights on the site of the oner. Does it really matter what the origin of this withdrawn entry is?

and I've said this before (a long time ago). Asking permission is a small trouble, 99% of the time the owner will have no issues what-so-ever.

You'll have to excuse me grefix. I was being fecetious. I was actually wanting to see the image. I was interested in what someone did to the picture that was so bad the owner asked it be removed.

Facetious... Speaking in jest, Humour, toungue in cheek.

Fecetious... wtf... something to do with feces.

Feces... Crap. Aka Carp.


Which would suggest after a drawn out Process

The image had been lifted from another photoshop contest site. One element had been added. Otherwise it was essentially the same. The author of the original complained about its use on our site without permission.
