<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 3091594, member: 13307&quot;]Forgive me for playing devil&#039;s advocate, but your goal is to create a website (which you plan to eventually make money from) but you don&#039;t want to pay anyone for the images/media that will make your website interesting to look at?&nbsp; If I found out you were making money off my creative work (or intellectual property) and not compensating me for it in some way, we might have a problem to discuss.</p><p><br /></p><p>(I&#039;m not attacking you, just pointing out how someone who took the images or owns the coins might see your question.)</p><p><br /></p><p>When I took dance photos for the students at the University of Utah, I told them that every image I took was free for them to use for promotional purposes (for example, concert posters) or to use on their websites <i>as long as they cited my name as photographer in addition to other applicable citations - costume designer, choreographer, etc.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>Did I go to a dance festival and see an old classmate displaying a book of his work (using a bunch of images I took) outside a showing of a piece of choreography in progress?&nbsp; Yes I did.&nbsp; Did he cite me as the photographer/editor?&nbsp; No, he did not.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Did I see one of my images on promotional materials for the University of Utah cited to a different photographer (a professional one) while I was interviewing for a teaching position at a different university?&nbsp; Yes I did.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps a solution might be to partner with someone who images coins for a living in exchange for allowing them to advertise their services for free or having the images clickthrough to their website.&nbsp; But you need to credit someone for their work at the very least, and if you&#039;re going to make money off their work, you need to compensate them.&nbsp; It&#039;s pretty simple IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
