Pentax Gallery - Another Question
I am preparing to post some photos for the Pentax Gallery but I need this item clarified prior to submitting them: From the FAQ: Q: What else do I need to know about submitting photos to the PENTAX Photo Gallery? A: Link back to the PENTAX Photo Gallery when you post your photos elsewhere. Pages on other websites that display images hosted on PENTAX must provide a link back to the PENTAX Photo Gallery. The question I posed to them: I host my photos on my own website(s) for viewing, critique and occasionally sale, and I submit photos for exhibition elsewhere. Sometimes my photos are used on the website for those exhibitions. These sites do not carry links to the Pentax Photo Gallery for the dual reasons that a) it doesn't exist yet and b) I feel it would be inappropriate to do so ... In essence, it seems you are asking that I surrender control of the ability to display my photographs independently of the Pentax Photo gallery if you accept them for posting. I have thousands of photos that are not displayed anywhere else, and I could reserve some of them for display on the Pentax Photo Gallery. But I do tend to cherry pick my best photographs and highlight them on my own website and submit them to competitions and exhibitions ... What does this rule really mean in practical terms? Anyone else have thoughts about this? Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Anyone else have thoughts about this? Godfrey Yes - I think you misunderstand the rule. To quote (emphasis mine): Pages on other websites that display images *hosted on PENTAX* must provide a link back to the PENTAX Photo Gallery. I read that as saying that if you deep-link to an image on the Pentax site you must also provide a link to the gallery as a whole. It doesn't say you can't have another copy of the same image on your own site - it just says you can't use the Pentax gallery as a photo hosting site for your own purposes without mentioning the gallery. Note, too, that there's nothing about the images being yours; you couldn't deep-link to one of my images without that gallery link. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

This is the way I understood that too. In the (I think unlikely) case that Godfrey's interpretation is the valid one, I'd be fine with not showing my images in the Pentax gallery.

That is the way I read it the first time I went through the FAQ and posting instructions, but I feel that it is stated somewhat ambiguously. It makes me uncomfortable although I suspect both of you are correct. Too much time spent deliberating over legalese in my last position at Apple, I guess. ;-) thanks Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
