[Release] My Genetics Calculator

[OhhWatALoser]

Well I went through a few definitions and read through alot of court cases ( I'm weird and actually find them interesting lol) Well it appears the legality of using picture is pretty generous. Under the fair use law, you can use copyrighted material for various purposes, one of them is teaching. So as far as the law goes, I can go copy all the pictures I want and put them on my site. Would I ever do that, of course not. but saying I cannot use your copy written content... actually I can.

So it basically comes down to moralist stand point of it. Obviously if you give me permission and give me your picture, there no problem.

things like, what if someone owns the animal, and someone else owns the picture, the guy who owns the picture gives me permission, but they guy who owns the animal wants me to take it down, where should I stand?

Someone gives me someone else's picture, that person wants it taken down and also wants to know who gave it to me, where do I stand?

You give me permission, then want it taken down later, where do I stand?

what other scenario might cause problems?

You could set up a little contract to check off before you submit images? Saying that the person has the rights to the image their submitting, and they give up the right to have it taken off the site without.. good cause?

Maybe something of that sort? I don't think the legality of it would be too big of an issue, but on the subject of the owner of the actual animal wanting the image taken down, I believe they have no legal right to say so. The image is not theirs, just the subject involved. I am pretty sure there is a law protecting photographers who take images from people changing their minds later and throwing a fit about said images. (I do photography, but haven't gotten into the nitty gritty of the rules.)

Be better than the law.

Treat peoples pictures the way you would want any of your property treated.

On such things reputations are based.

I would think most of the people who give you images to use would enjoy the fact that their animal was of quality to use Might even be cool to have a:
Morph-XXXXXX
Owner-YYYYYYY

Somewhere on the image link so people know who's animal they are looking at and the owner feels good about getting credit for their animal as well

Problem is, im not most people, my pictures, I give to the whole world to use without my permission as long as its not for commercial use and they do not do anything misleading with it. no questions asked. If its in the public domain, it stays in the public domain, most people do not feel this way I have noticed.

I could see certain situations "listed above" id be walking on fine line of public domain vs person's feelings. How does the community feel I should respond to them?
