The individual Copyright holder needs to make the report for all photos taken from the GGA Photo webpages unless, a signed letter is sent to the GGA Webmaster authorizing the GGA to act on your behalf regarding the specific photos in question.   Greg Christenson GGA Webmaster / Listserve manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gekkota.com   -----Original Message----- From: Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 12:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Gecko] Photo Piracy, Atten: all photo submitters... photo galleries: http://community.webshots.com/user/reptij   personal site: http://www.geocities.com/reptij/   Look in the various galleries.  5 of my photos (3 leopard geckos, 1 tokay, and 1 banded gecko) have been added to this persons gallery w/o my knowledge of them doing so.  To further add insult to injury they had the balls to crop off my "© Chris Newsom" text on my photos.  There were other GGA photo contributors' photos who I recognized.  Some by Tony Gamble or Gregory Watkins-Colwell, just to name a couple.  I don't know what can be done, but I have already type up a message to his guest book on the webshots account.   Chris
