It's not difficult. If you see your picture posted, and there is no credit given or you did not give permission to post, raise hell. If we see a picture posted without credit, we raise hell. At the end of the day, the membership can only police those without proper credit, the photographer must police those where permissions were never granted.
It has to be a DIY thing. At the very least we clean up our own house first!
A while ago, some young photographer posted in another airplane photography forum pictures as his own but he did not take. Some one here found out. We were practically lynching this guy. I have no problem with the lynching. But let's lynch all those who deserved to be lynched.
More recently, a wedding photographer, violated the copyrights of others, we lynched him.
However, why are we so laxed with pictures posted by photoshoot organisers?

Haha! because a lot of people operate under the grave misconception that "credit to the photographer" is a valid form of credit!!
the lack of 'education' on wad credit to photographers really mean? :think:
*this i speak for myself, i know little

Aiyo, lidat also need to draft meh, I thought common sense:
1. Make sure you get permission from the photographer before using his works. Permission granted by anyone other than the photographer may result in you running the risk of infringement because that other person may or may not have the right to grant permission on the photographers behalf. Do it at your own risk.
2. If the photographer grants permission on the basis that you credit his work, be sure that you identify him. A simple statement such as "Credit to <name>" will do; unless the photographer requires some other format or details to be inserted. Some require email address to be inserted, others require mobile phone etc. The basic idea of a credit is so that people know who did the work, and so that they can contact the photographer if they wish to engage him - credited works are a form of advertisement.
Will this do?

Aiyo ... see, you had put it all together so well.
Admin, what do you think? Make Vince's draft a sticky?
At the end of the day,organisers are just too kan chong to post and advert their shoots without doing the homework to give credits to the rightful owners of the pictures.
I notice a cycle,a repeated trend which starts with model giving organiser 'their' pictures and though the model affirm the organiser that permission has been sough,something goes utterly wrong.Either the model is lying or the photographer forgets he ever gave permission.
Then the photographer finds out his work has been used for personal gains and organiser just give credits.
All just seem too convinient for the organisers.
For intergrity sake,organisers should do their homework and istead of pushing the blame,take take charge like a responsible adult.
