Re: Photo of the day
Hi Guys,
If you post any content that is not your own, you should always credit it with a link back to the original - unless it is released under a creative commons licence (such as with Wikipedia) but even then it is nice to link back to the source.
Generally if the content provider does not under any circumstances want the content cross-posted, they will usually add a notice to their site or prevent right-clicking/saving of images or text. On Breedia for example, if anyone copies a large amount of text only the first paragraph is actually copied to the clipboard along with a link back to the original content.
With regards to photo competitions - in that case the photo should always be your own.
I hope this helps explain our position - some sites may have different rules, but we tend to err on the side of caution. I'm closing this thread now as the original photo has been removed.
