Corbis, DMCA, And John Kerry Photos
Phronesis writes "Photo District News is running a story reporting that three historic photos of John Kerry from the early 1970s, including the one used for the Jane Fonda forgery, were pirated from Corbis. The photographers who own the copyright on the photos are asking Corbis to use its fancy watermarking technology to find the culprit. Corbis hopes either to track the responsible people down using watermarks, or to invoke DMCA if the watermarks were removed."
teh fa1lur3?
Not that it's necessarily relative, but I think either Bill Gates or Microsoft owns Corbis.
My fiance has a picture of: her, her parents, her sister, standing with John Kerry. Just the five of them. I dont know who took the picture.
Are pictures with famous people copyrighted in some way by the famous person? I hope not. I just think its really cool that my future wife had her picture taken with a potential US president.

From my experience with local elections the Democrats have a long history with all sorts of dirty politics.
The local Democrats have excelled at everything from stealing signs to jailing opposition campaign workers the night before the election. It would appear they are capable of the same tricks on a national level.
The Republicans just don't seem to have as much of a hold on the media, and so get more negative media coverage.
It is sad when politicians are crooks, it is even sadder when we keep electing those who are best at being crooked.
Not that this is too important, but I found it interesting that Bill Gates owns Corbis... (see this month's forbes magazine)
Not necessarily. Why, when Jesus makes his second coming, the dead will rise from the grave!
The dead in Iraq will forever remain that way.
Yes, including the 500,000 people that Saddam killed, and the millions that suffered because he was too damn stupid to comply with the UN so the sanctions could get released.
Too damned stupid to get rid of those WMD's that were found just laying about where schoolchildren could get a hold of them?
Sadaam was a puppet of the Reagan Administration, and, lo and behold, who's Bush's cabinet made up with? Why it's ex-Reagan administration politicians. They were going after him Weapons or no weapons right after 9/11. With or without a good reason. How about all the Iraqis that died because Ollie North followed orders and traded guns for hostages? Fund Iraq in the war, give guns to the Iranians, and see who come out of it so you can fuck up the country some more!
But Sadaam didn't want to play your little game. He started asking for the sanctions to be lifted, pleaded for them to be lifted. As a sign of good faith, he was willing to trade oil for euros. That pissed the U.S. off, because their money (artifically inflated as it's the currency that oil is traded for) would become less valuable.
You know the rest. The bugging of the U.N. delegates, the lies, the murder. The ends justify the means! American democracy or death for EVERYONE!
You're a fag and a tool!
GOD /. moderators suck read the parent and tell me what it has to do with using the DMCA on someone who photoshopped a Kerry/Fonda photo?
Or are all BUSH SUCKS POSTS JUST SO "INSIGHTFUL"?
