people have just repost what I have post before like they go down my tread and reup and post it .. It happen here it was removed but other forums didn`t do any thing about it and I didn`t really worry 2 much about it I could not do any thing anyways..
On the news they said it was ok 2 post your own photos that you take online and also they said even if its a photo of photo its ok . which i dont know if there right...........:thinking:
I am no stranger to copyright, I wrote in the past few scripts, songs and drew several sketch. Not only that but the company I started 8 years ago I still have the first sketches of the concept handwritten locked into an envelop it's a certified mail and I posted it to myself, the envelop is still intact and lie safely in my safe unopened. If ever someone claim that the project was theirs, that envelop with the very first draft will be unveiled and this is one of the cheapest form of copyright one can use. This form of copyright can be use with the patenting of a invention, where the creator take a series of picture of himself while creating the whole thing, with a final picture showing that they are indeed the inventor, sealed those picture with and hand written declaration and do the same process and certify post it to himself and keep the envelop intact. When certifying a post on the envelop the date has been stamped, I don't know what ink they use but it survives the wear of time. It is also a good idea for the copyright owner to date whatever is contained in the envelop.
Now with the coming of Internet, things became more and more difficult for copyright owners to secure their trademarks, since it made it quite difficult to prove that a material belong to you if you didn't have any type of copyright process (keeping originals, dating your work, patent invention etc.), and beside posting material on the Internet does means that you voluntary post them on a public domain which obviously makes it much easier for anyone to grab them.

This gives a very good idea of when a material becomes public domain, the terms are mostly for the USA, however Canada has pretty much the same framework with some little differences.
In my future site which will have plenty of pictures and videos I use fingerprinting technology and watermark, but yet I won't go nuts trying to track down whom ever have shared the pictures or videos because it's a very hard work to search millions of computers for pictures and videos and somehow the way I see it is that at least somebody has paid a subscriptions to get them. As I said earlier in another post I'd even give HammerVice a free membership allowing him to grab videos and pictures he likes and share them on the net... when a site has so many pictures and videos, one poster cannot pick them all and thus does a very good publicity for the site... now what is more expensive; paying multiple sites to have banners that nobody will click on them or letting a Master share the wealth and bring people to the site for which out of 10 visitors, 2 will want to register to get more? Now let multiply this by 1000 users registered, I believe I still make enough to continue the production.:thinking:
