I sent an
email to the webmaster of the paleoart site with a simple question: How do you ask permission from the
artists to post their images, and if you do have permission how come the
artists are not listed next to their work? Here is
part of the response I received. (it was also sent directly to a few other list
members) Jenny Lando Assistant Coordinator/Paleontology of Dinosaurs Moveable Museum Education Department:AMNH Central Park West @ 79th Street NYC NY 10024 212-769-5189 212-769-5329 (fax) I would like to apologized for using your
images without asking permission or giving credit to you. We'd taken all
of your images out off our web site already. It was done unknowingly and
not deliberately by our technical team. We never intend to keep any of the images
shown on our site with us. We only act as a pointer so that people can
find things on the Internet- in form of webpages, music or images. I
would like to thank you for bringing this problem to our attention. We
are in the process of rectifying this problem in our Special Collection- should
be finished within the next few weeks. All the images shown will be from
search result which can be linked directly to the owner's website.
With regards, Duangmanee Sukhum General Manager |
