RE: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a tough job at Manchester United this season
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I won't comment on you know who ;-)
But as for the pictures, its a big problem here. I use them from google searches and add my disclaimer notice at the end purporting fair use but to the letter of the law, I'm not sure it is. I did read this recently
Your use may also be protected under the fair use doctrine if you are using the image for criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.
In theory though, we are earning from their use so its a minefield that needs treading carefully.

Fair enough - I didn't expect a comment today but it's a fair one with regards to the photos.
As far as I am aware, we cannot use the images and be paid for doing so. Looking around the #sportstalk tag though, it seems no-one understands this!
I'm wondering if the videos that are on Youtube can be screen-shot? Youtube should be removing the copyrighted stuff and so what's there is free to use as video/image?
Well, I would only suggest that if they are being used as per fair use law that you can't be paid. A newspaper gets paid, as do teachers and critics.......
No to your Youtube idea as anything shot by an individual is automatically copyright, as for them taking videos of Sports events, there are players image rights to also take into consideration. I was starting to read some issues about US sports events where you're no longer allowed to shoot inside the arena...till I got bored! but I will stick with the disclaimer notice and only use stuff easily found in the public domain. I don't believe for a minute all these micro-news sites, the sort that comes up on www.newsnow.com are all paying for photos.
I will however try and steer clear of anything that says Getty images or AP on them, or any other images that have copyright notices stamped onto them. That would just be taking the piss!!
Worst that can happen is a cease and desist notice I would imagine.

Is it me or is the site going a bit mental today. I've been adding multiple comments and then needing to delete them.
Yeah I think using Getty images is a big no-no, but it looks like there is little concern from our peers about using pretty much anything that isn't stamped with a copyright.
I wonder if you take a screenshot of a news article with some text/image, and then source it back to the website? Probably not eh.
Bit of a bummer as a couple of nice images can really improve content.
Not just you, I have posted a new blog and it is only showing on Steemit. If you look at the New post section on Sportstalk you'll see the last posts were around an hour ago
Bit of a pain in the arse. Oh well, seems to be OK for now.
yup, it does this from time to time and it can get really slow as does Steem engine and trying to claim rewards. I guess both are related.
Yep, i think related. Seems better now.
same problem is at steemleo
Annoyingly, I cant see this comment on sportstalksocial, only on Steem. I'll be back later to give the replies a boost.
