Firstly, p...I've taken initial advice on this.<br /><br />Firstly, photography of objects in view in a public place is perfectly legal; to make this more clear, I've replaced the images with an uncropped shot showing the location to be a public place.<br /><br />Secondly, copyright isn't an issue either. This comes well under "fair use" - low-resolution reproduction for critical comment. I'm not seeking to sell the image, or trade under it (so trademarks aren't an issue either).<br /><br />I'll remove it if I ultimately have to, but people will draw their own conclusions about a company applying 'legal chill' to prevent open analysis of the sexual politics of artwork it has chosen as its trading logo.<br /><br />(I'm assuming that by posting it to the article comments page you intended your message for publication - if not, let me know, and I'll remove it).Ray Girvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05556764642402680159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937414969460147900.post-48647093866320608482012-04-09T13:57:32.096-07:002012-04-09T13:57:32.096-07:00The image and logo has served me well for many yea...The image and logo has served me well for many years and helped my business grow and be recognised, it has obviously provoked a reaction from yourself as it has done many others some bad but mostly good, but do tell me how many other plumbers vans you have commented on so my choice of 21st century advertising has worked effectively enough for you to blot it :) furthermore you have a directory in which my number and the picture is listed so you only had to call and ask for a decent picture that doesn't infringe the copyrights of which it is protected against from unlawful use, you have my number if you wish to phone me and seek my permission to use my material lawfully along with a donation for a charity of my choice to give it to, that way you then have the rights to use my highly imaginative and creative imagery on your site, when you can be as creative and imaginative yourself, you would not be so quick to put others down that try to make a living for themselves, I trust I make myself clear about the image and its unauthorised web publication !!
