Hello Ron,
I hope you don't mind me continuing your old music thread, i'm just a frustrated DJ who loves 60s and 70s rock.
Actually I'm writing to you to ask about the policy of using photographs for commercial use from the photography forum.I'm looking for a cover for a book of mine about Thailand and it struck me I could well find one here. Is there any policy such as the Creative Commons format in use here, ie acknowledging the source or is it a case of asking the particular photographer in question?
Yours,
keep on rocking,
Bannork.

Hello Bannork,
Firstly have a read of this.

The consensus from those further up the ladder is that it is acceptable providing the request is channeled through thaivisa management
ie moderators who will put it to the original poster or owner of the particular image asking for permission for the image to be used for
commercial purposes.
Unfortunately it has to be done this way to protect thaivisa and the party who wishes to use the image from any possible legal action that
could take place if permission from the owner was not sought.
There are a number of our members that have copyright over their images and that may not be known by others.
Even those that don't have copyright over their images deserve that courtesy be shown by at least being asked for permission to use.
Do you have any particular image or images in mind at this stage ?
If so please provide me with the topic, page number, post number and poster, this will allow me to correctly identify the image.
Cheers,
Ron
