*clicks*


EDIT: On an unrelated note - Zoo have just mailed asking to use one of my images and are still saying they don't offer a prize :(

I heard something was being sorted out with them - or was I imagining things?

# You must destroy them
Grind their sun-bleached bones into the salted, scorched earth as you spit upon the graves of their family pets.

Or just politely decline.

# 'something being sorted' now translates as:
other publications will pay for single use images, but ZOO won't, but they will
publish any credit you want - and there's a 50/50 chance of them fucking that up as well.

Best to reply back with a standard email, saying 'thanks, but no thanks, other publications pay, and if they change their policy and offer a small payment
as others do, you will allow it published for single use only' - or words to that effect

Thanks, but no thanks, other publications pay for single use, if you guys change your policy and offer a small payment as others do, I will happily allow it published.

# good man!
it's nice to have your name in lights and all that, and it was for me the first 3 or 4 times...

18 images later, however...

# Oh you big show off! :p
It's the third time I've been asked and I've had two nicked so I'm not doing too bad I suppose...

# hehe, it took me a while until i realised how many they'd nicked,
beau bo d'or was the main force behind getting 'justice' for his images, and i sort of tagged along,
then a few of us got together and slow progress was made...

# yes, it was sorted out that they would ask
there is still no prize and you will be signing away all rights to the image and its use anywhere in the world.
(, Mon 24 Sep 2007, 18:11, archived)
# and lets not forget, they ask you to confirm FULL ownership of the image they will print,
which means - in a roundabout way - ALL source images. Most people may think 'it'll be ok,
but if someone complained to ZOO about their source image being printed, they have B & W evidence that you claimed ownership of the entire image,
thus landing you in vast amounts of 'dodo-do-do', and they get off completely

oh, thats a bad thing isn't it.

# can i ask
if members of b3ta like delboy* stop letting zoo use there images they may think twice

*i am not singling out delboy but highlighting this as i think zoo are taking the piss
(, Mon 24 Sep 2007, 19:09, archived)
# it's because of a few of us that they started asking in the first place
then we turned around and said 'no' because they pissed on their chips the first time, which means they now
actively scour b3ta looking for people willing to say yes, and they've stopped doing the 'reader winner' prize as well...

# so it seems
i wonder shall we try and trick them?

i bet they dont advertise the prise now as there arseholes
