Why have a copyright notice?

Photographs

The law on copyright is plain. If I have taken a photograph then it may only be used with my permission. Putting a photo on a web site does not imply that permission is granted for the photograph to be used for any purpose by others.

If no credit is given to another photographer, then the photograph was taken by me. My position on my own photographs is this:

• If you are the subject in the photograph, then you may of course take the the image off the web site and use it for whatever purpose you like. If you'd like, I'll email a higher resolution copy to you, or I will supply a print at cost.
• Any other person, not the subject of the photograph, wishing to use a photograph must ask my permission. I will check with the subject in the photograph.
• If I am able to give you permission to use the photo, I would request a link back to the Ilkley Harriers web site in return.

Some photos on my web site are the work of other photographers, with a credit given. The copyright of the photo belongs to the photographer and their permission should be sought before the image is used.

This copyright applies to all photographs on this web site and on the Junior Ilkley Harriers site. Latterly I have been adding an explicit copyright notice to photo index pages, but this is only to draw attention to the issue - it is not a legal necessity.

Non-photographic material

Long live the web. I am all for sharing design ideas, code, and other material between web site authors. But please respect obvious copyright, e.g. the Ilkley Harriers logo, other logos where they are used, etc. And if you take one of my ideas and improve on it, please share it with me.
