SOS- who gets the TIMES? UK?
not sure if this is a hoax? someone from the uk wrote to me today in regards to one of my images being used in the times. here is the letter he wrote to the times as well as my email address. does anyone have July 8th paper? I looked in my new York times and saw nothing? is there another "times" in the UK? ***I didn't open the attachment because I don't know who this person is and not sure if a virus could be sent that way? but there was supposedly an attachment with the image of the illustration. any help..anyone? id be interested in knowing if this is indeed fact. :)
Hello, I was reading an article in the Times on 8th July, 2006 by Jeanette Winterson (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,923-2258981,00.html) and I saw an illustration I liked by Joanna Nelson (attached). The thing is, locating that illustration online is not easy, if possible at all, even though the literature of the article is faithfully printed online, accompanied illustrations and photography hardly ever are.
I would like to know why, at least, the illustrator's credits are not printed online, this surely cannot be against copyright agreement?! Ideally, the image would accompany the article in digital format, possibly with a link to purchase or simply access a larger version upon clicking - I can surely see The Times evolving into this.
Either way I firmly believe that images make a story just as much online as they do in paper based format and because of ridiculous copyright fears online readers are prevented from this, even though I bought the paper and wanted a back-up of the story (saved to del.icio.us).
My questions is why print the illustration nationwide yet not online?
Kind regards,
Samuel
P.S. note the image contains meta-data, this also is something I would dearly like to see a responsible paper take up.
