Re: [Bug-gne]Copyright infringements

[Tom Chance]

I guess what we should do is to provide a screen with
information for people who think they've had their
copyright violated, or some other similar incident,
where they can fill in a form saying which article
infringes on this copyright, and give us some sort of
proof (like a link to an art gallery web page with
that picture on it). If they give us what we deem to
be sufficient evidence, then we take down the
infringing material. Don't forget we needn't
necessarily take down the entire article, only the
pictures. Unless of course the article text is ripped
from a book too!
