Me acaban de suspender el blog en inglés (+) (+) (+) (+)

Cuando los atentados de Glasgow puse una foto en un post en la que se veía claramente que la foto ponía UNIVERSALNEWSANDSPORTS.COM, como podeis ver en la página en el cache en Google.

Bueno, pues hoy recibo este mensaje -12:39 de la mañana- (no había recibido nada antes ni se me había pasado por la cabeza que hubiera ningún problema):

Ref: Copyright Infringement 18 September 2007

Dear http://toastedbread.wordpress.com

It has come to my attention that you have made an unauthorized use of UNS copyrighted work entitled Glasgow Airport Bomber (the «Work»). I have reserved all rights to this Work at http://www.universalnewsandsport.com. The picture of Glasgow Airport Bomber (A man arrested by police at Glasgow airport suffered severe burns), which appears on your web site :

Two more held over bomb attacks

is essentially identical to the Work and clearly used the Work as its basis. You neither asked for nor received permission to use the Work as the basis for Glasgow Airport Bomber ( Kafeel Ahmed) nor to make or distribute copies of it. Therefore, I believe you have wilfully infringed Universal News and Sport rights. Any reproduction of the image without permission is an illegal act under the 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act. I demand that you immediately cease the use and distribution of all infringing works derived from the Work, and all copies of it, and desist from this or any other infringement of my rights in the future. If I have not received an affirmative response from you by 20 September 2007 indicating that you have fully complied with these requirements, I shall consider taking the full legal remedies available to rectify this situation.

Sincerely, Andy Parks Archive

Como se ve claramente, necesitaba dar una respuesta ANTES DEL 20 de septiembre y hoy es 18.

Les he escrito hoy mismo diciendo que la había borrado y wordpress.com me ha suspendido el blog, según dicen por violación de las condiciones del servicio, cuando repito, yo hasta esta mañana no tenía ni idea de que una foto que claramente pone quién la hecho, con un link a la página de dónde se ha cogido y en blog no comercial tenía que pedir permiso al autor para ponerla en el suyo.

Además, no puedo contactar con wordpress.com para decirles lo que ha pasado porque no tienen disponible ningún email para decirlo.

Estoy con un cabreo -con todas las letras- que vamos.

(No es por nada pero esto es lo que pretende hacer la SGAE…)

(+) Gracias, Kate, por hacerte eco. Te lo agradezco mucho.

Y a Maty por su ayuda y apoyo.

Y a Freelance Corner por la campaña de google-bombing que ha iniciado.

Kate me ha avisado de que la página de support ha quedado abierta. Así que ya les he escrito, además de lo que escribí en IBA, lo siguiente:

So I just ask you: What on earth is going on here? They have sent that to me this morning. I am not in front of the PC all day. I just answered them saying that I had erased the photo when I noticed you have suspended my blog.
I would like my blog to appear on the Internet as soon as possible. You are causing my readers an extraordinary damage and I had no intention of harming anyone. You can previously see that the photo in particular has been erased so there is no reason for this suspension.

I would thank you very much if you would do that.

Gracias también a Cruzcampo y a Prevost. 🙂

Contestación del payo escocés:

Copyright on the Web seems to be a difficult concept for people to understand. If you did not write or create the article, graphic, or data that you found, then you need permission from the owner before you can copy it.

Remember, when you use someone’s graphic, HTML, or text without permission, you are stealing, and they can take action against you.

Regards

No majete: de eso nada. Sólo se roba si se GANA dinero, como consecuencia del uso que se da a las imágenes y yo no saco un duro Y fingiendo que es de quien se apropia indebiendamente de la foto.

(+) El sitio está activo otra vez 😆 GRACIAS A TODOS. 😆

el mail del payoranger:

The blog is back.
When we receive such notices we cannot wait, we are obliged to act.
We were not notified by the copyright holder that the situation was resolved.I apologise for the inconvenience.

Hmm, claro, claro, estás obligado a actuar SIN una notificación previa, ¿no? Hay que tener caradura, después de la de sitios de Jihadis que han tenido activos durante meses SIN cerrarlos…

(+) Un amiguete blogger americano, Infidelesto, de Infidels are Cool, cuando le dije que me lo habían suspendido me escribió un mail con lo siguiente:

That really sucks Vorzheva.  I’m sorry this has happened to you.  Have you gotten any explanation?  I’ve seen some really bad hate sites on wordpress and WordPress has continually allowed these threatening murderous ant-semetic, anti-american websites to stay put.  And then they remove yours because of what? cause you used some guys photograph? Absurd!

Pues sí MUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY absurdo…
