<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MVC, post: 505297, member: 5290&quot;]yikes, just getting around to checking in.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will try to answer the questions</p><p><br /></p><p>Do I intend to sell the pictures? NO</p><p><br /></p><p>Do I intend to use them for any purpose?&nbsp; No intent other than for educational purposes on that site and for people to enjoy</p><p><br /></p><p>Why post them on <a href="http://www.mycoinpictures.com?" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mycoinpictures.com?" rel="nofollow">www.mycoinpictures.com?</a>&nbsp; I created the site to post pictures of coins for people to look at, view, enjoy, etc. with the hope that the images would be of sufficient size and quality to really show all the detail of the coin, wear, varieties/errors, etc.&nbsp; And while I do not have many, if any varieties/errors, my hope is that some will show up and that the images will really show the detail.&nbsp; Many forums, etc have a much smaller size limit on images which sometimes produce grainy, fuzzy or small pictures.&nbsp; Not saying that happens all the time, but on <a href="http://www.mycoinpictures.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mycoinpictures.com" rel="nofollow">www.mycoinpictures.com</a> the size is just under 2 meg which when taking a 7 meg picture and then cropped down, etc still provides a very large photo with great clarity (depending on the camera, photographer, etc)</p><p><br /></p><p>who owns the pictures?&nbsp; I am not sure quite how to answer that.&nbsp; I believe that copyright laws apply.&nbsp; That does not prevent anyone from posting a link to any given pictures.&nbsp; As for the pictures I have posted, I do not care if they are used anywhere else.&nbsp; If they are, I would hope the user would credit the site</p><p><br /></p><p>can I watermark them?&nbsp; A few images have been posted with the owners name/business in the corner of the image.&nbsp; No problem there.&nbsp; I would hope thought that any watermark would not distort/disrupt the details of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once the photo is loaded can anybody take it?&nbsp; Yes, and that is no different than this site or any other site.&nbsp; It is the internet after all </p><p><br /></p><p>Why all the restrictions on a &quot;fun&quot; contest.&nbsp; (fuzzy, etc)&nbsp; I just wanted to make sure that the pictures uploaded were of decent quality which would imply that the person uploading the image was not trying to upload anything and anything just to get a higher count.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can I delete images?&nbsp; The system is not currently setup to do that for users but the admin account can, so there is a way to remove images.</p><p><br /></p><p>OK, I think I answered them all.&nbsp; If I did not, or there are more, please let me know.&nbsp; Also, now with all that being said, if there is anyone who has uploaded images and would prefer I remove them, I will do so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
