>> I suspect you can trust your family, friends etc to respect your wishes, and >> you can limit the distribution through trust.
>> Images of children can be sourced for advertising without having to resort >> to using private images. So your basic answer is that in a world without copyright, instead of me being allowed to say "Hey, I know you *could* just download this straight off the internet and reuse it however you want, but I'd really rather you didn't", the onus is instead on me to personally vouch for the distribution of my photos on a person-by-person basis and just hope for the best from anyone I don't know who wants a picture of a child? If you want to write software code, and are happy for people to take it away and modify it and do what they want with it, then fine, I'm not stopping you. The output of my work is writing and wireframes and designs. I'd rather someone didn't just reproduce all of my blog or my presentations or my wireframe ideas and pass them off as their own or make money from them without my permission. So why do you want to stop me expressing that wish? You can quote as many bits of historical text from the 1800s as you like, but it doesn't stop you sounding like an arrogant prick who thinks he has more right to determine what should happen to the things I produce than I do. m - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
