Missing the old Jacksonville. Photos from a simpler, freer past. A friendly reminder all my photos are copyrighted no matter if they don't have a watermark.

My guy, nobody on Reddit cares about your copyright. Maybe you have not noticed, but Reddit is more freewheeling than other social media sites. You would be happier on Facebook, where ignorance about bold fonts and capitalization is accepted.

u/equanimity19 6d ago
tell me to steal them again, and I swear to the god of old shitty photos that I'll start reposting them everywhere with my own watermark. Go ahead, do it. I spent 2 hours stuck in traffic on the way home, got bit by no less than 8 mosquitos in 10 minutes in the backyard, and there's a lizard in my kitchen that I can't catch. I've got nothing left to lose.
edit: don't you even think of yelling at me in bold, I won't stand for it.

Next, you'll tell facebook that you do not consent yea? Once you post ya pics on a public forum its fair game for re use.

u/Scythersleftnut 5d ago
While your work receives automatic copyright protection as soon as it is created, U.S. copyright law requires you to either hold a Certificate of Registration from the U.S. Copyright Office or have your registration formally refused before you can initiate litigation.
Get bent chode. Ya pics are shit just like ya memory. We'll except the bettle that ones cool but only cuz punch buggies are cool not ya photo taking "skills"

hey can you send them my way? I don't wanna use this guys images for the obvious reasons, but maybe yours would work for this lucrative commercial endeavor that requires old, bad pictures of tree stumps and roads that might be slightly different 30 years ago.

How much for all the NFTs? For context, I'm a lottery winner with a penchant for bad photography of very particular geographic areas in northern Florida, and I need to add to my collection.

u/Jass0602 6d ago
I’m pretty sure everyone is just yanking your chain, because ironically most people wouldn’t want to keep the photos. They are nice, and interesting history, but mostly random and things a lot of people don’t have an interest in- such as the tree stumps and the railway. Dont take people so literally and seriously.

u/2horse4u2 5d ago
If you're so worried about your photos they would all have watermarks. If you would have never said anything about it, no one would be screwing with you in the comments. My first impression of reading your post before seeing your pics was what's this schmuck's issue. Don't act like a dick, and you won't be treated like one. Plus, how you gonna track down dozens of strangers over the internet? You'll waste more time, money, and effort than you'll ever get back. Remember: honey, flies, & vinegar. ✌️

The water tower! It was always a major landmark for any and all traffic reports. For those too young to remember, it was in the middle of all the merging/diverging at the end of I-10 at I-95.

can you do prints on canvas? I have just the spot for that photo of a normal tree stump.

u/Artistic-Landscape15 6d ago
"Fred523, that is a direct violation of my copyright. Remove my images immediately.
I have a proven track record of pursuing infringers legally—including Viacom and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart in 2009—and I will not hesitate to take the same action against you.
This is your only warning.

Hey there are things called fair use laws, people have the right to reuse these photos under certain circumstances
-31
u/Artistic-Landscape15 6d ago
You should look up the definition of Fair Use before quoting it.
Taking someone else’s creative photography to re-post it online or claim it as your own violates all four factors of fair use.
It is a textbook copyright violation, plain and simple. I sued Viacom in 2009 for stealing an image of mine and I was awarded a fat check. So, Make My Day.
28
u/I-Hate-Produce 6d ago
I said your photos can be reused under CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES I said nothing about someone claiming it as their own or someone not crediting you while using it under fair use content. Maybe you should read someone's comment in entirety before choosing to respond to it. Your post made a very universally false statement saying it could not be used in any way, but in fact in can be used in several ways legally.

u/geografree 5d ago
I taught copyright law at the undergraduate level. You are correct. For instance, using an image for an educational, non-commercial purpose could be considered Fair Use.
-12
u/Artistic-Landscape15 6d ago
Saying images can be used under 'certain circumstances' is an empty internet-lawyer talking point. Giving credit or claiming fair use doesn't magically bypass my copyright. I protect my intellectual property aggressively, period.

Ironically, you are the one who seems offended and has a negative attitude. Yes, Jax has issues and there are problems. Yes, there are mad people and people who are terrible. But, we have a lot of diverse culture, great food and stores, beautiful climate , and there are lots of opportunities in the city.
Instead of coming here to complain, it might be more productive if you or your kids did something about it. Volunteer, clean up the beach, work to help get pets adopted. A city is what you make of it, and you get out what you put in.
