david shelby Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I have become aware that photo.net are using my photographs, my name, my information to promote advertisement for Canon. In RED underneath my pictures,the name of the photo and then my name is Canon D20 (which I checked in the information box along with posting my photo).When I click on it, I am linked to a advertisement sight for the Canon D20 ETC!. Was this new action announced to members and I missed the information ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidmccracken Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Not just you. Does seem a touch unfair. You seem to have got round it but not clicking the camera information in recent uploads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmj Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Announced perhaps not, but it's <a href="http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00Heka">mentioned and discussed</a>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith turrill Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 You should be able to delete the camera link under the photo title using the "Edit Information" function. Go into the edit screen and deselect "Camera Type" and confirm the change at the bottom of the screen. That should make the link go away. In your equipment list, you might be able to create a new camera model such as "Canon Sucks, Nikon Sucks, Etc." It would be interesting to see what that links to :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socke Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 As Bob stated, by posting here you give up some of your rights. Since I put my pictures under a creative commons license with restrictions on comercial use, I just don't post as much pictures here anymore. It's a decision we have to make, the rules are clear. I'm a bad boy too, I infringe upon the Terms of Use when I access p.net from work since the companies firewall blocks all advertising. Luckily I have permission to read p.net at work, it is blocked for most users in our network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david shelby Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 It's not that it bothers me that they link a advertisement to my information input,I was just not aware that this is the norm for P.N. I guess I need to be more aware of aspects pertaining to sight policies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
