520 Hi All The "Screwed all over the world or what?" thread is deleted to make place for "Screwed all over the world or what? Follow up" thread - this one. What happened before? A number of online editions of well known newspapers thinks that it is okay to make a screen grab of another newspaper's website, crop this screen grab in a way that it shows only the content they like and then they republish that on their own website. And all this under the pretext of being a digital 'quote'. So that happened to an image of me and made me pretty upset, especially as I went through hell to make that shot. As expected nobody here on LS thought that this practice is allowed or should ever become accepted. I followed all advice I got here and elsewhere. And that helped. First I stopped being angry - very important - and instead focused on getting compensated. I sent the newspapers letters with registered post claiming copyright compensation fee (I added a print-out of the web-page with the image in question). Much to my surprise 60% of them actually paid after 6 weeks without even asking a question. The ones that do not pay get a reminder first and then let see what else later. So sending out letters does work fairly well sometimes, definitely worth a try if you see your images are re-used in this way.
