If you produce any original work it is copyright. That's it. No need to mail it to yourself. If you take a photograph of anything in public (but not in the public domain) then that is copyright. If you take a photograph of someone the photo is still copyright but you would need a model release form signed by them to ensure you had full rights of commercial explotation. (The BBC has this agreement on its website for anyone who wants to give them license free images.) If you take a photograph for someone the contract makes it clear whether those commissioning the work own the copyright or the photographer retains the copyright. If you are employed full time to take photographs with their equipment and their materials - they own the copyright.
The content of the photograph is irrelevant unless it contains an image of anything that is still copyright - the original copyright owners rights are infringed if you publish it - they will sue, you would be stupid to defend it. They will charge you two grand plus lawyers fees. All of this is covered by the UK instrument of law:
Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 http://www.england-legislation.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts1988/ukpga_19880048_en_2#pt1-ch1-pb1-l1g1 where photographs and their contents are clearly defined:
Artistic works
(1) In this Part "artistic work" means--
(a) a graphic work, photograph, sculpture or collage, irrespective of artistic quality,
*
"photograph" means a recording of light or other radiation on any medium on which an image is produced or from which an image may by any means be produced, and which is not part of a film; I am fairly certain that this is in accordance with the European Union Copyright laws since the EU has pursued a policy of uniformity in laws of this type.
German society and culture is different from the English speaking world. They only accept perfection, anything less is off the radar. They also indulge in Grundlichkeit (excessive thoroughness) which means that everything must be done all out, Unter Voll Dampf (under full steam) and if it costs time or money to do it, they'll take a first class ticket everytime. Not only that but in engineering they test everything to absolute destruction, build it completely new, break it again and then build it completely new and continue this process with the dedication of a Zen master. You just need to take a walk up any mountain in Germany to observe this in action. No one is wearing Jeans and a T-shirt and everyone is toting the sort of equipment required on expedition to summit K2. They even have similar equipment for their dogs.
So ten per cent success rate considering the incredibly short work week state employees enjoy is not just going well, it's an unprecedent level of efficiency.
The answer is straightforward common sense. Get a haircut (go to a real hair stylist. Copy the hair style of a celebrity who looks like you.). Wear some neat clothes (copy clothes worn by celebrities who look like you). Do not wear a beard or moustache or fluff under your lip. (you can do that once you have a life) Maintain a high standard of personal hygiene. Get a part-time job in a popular bar. ( I appreciate that in the US you will need to take the Bar training course but look on it as an investment.) Always look as if you already have a girlfriend - do not look hungry. Never talk about yourself and never be self-critical to anyone - not even the mirror. Have clear insight into who you are and what you can be. Be honest, generous and helpful. Be witty and funny but not witty and sarcastic. Be decisive and be responsible for your decisions even if they are wrong. When anyone tells you about their problem sympathise but never offer a solution - you don't have one for them. If anyone asks you for advice only ever give the advice you would take yourself. Don't expect them to take it. Don't expect the world to turn up on your doorstep.(In the right bar most of the world will eventually pass through it plus you will gain in life experience.) Cultivate friendships by being all of the above. Lose the focus on having a social life and have one instead because having one is fun.

This item will not appear for a few days since it is bit of electioneering to a very violence-sensitive nation and not really international news. You can read alternative German opinions on the subject in Thelocal http://www.thelocal.de/opinion/20090317-18073.html.
It probably comes as a surprise that Germany is a democracy and has many different opinions on a variety of subjects. The nation has a remarkable number of elderly people compared to the rest of the world and most of them think the internet comes in a box. This sort of thing appeals to them. They don't allow ordinary citizens to carry handguns either and they do provide healthcare for all of their citizens and even non-citizens who are employed. Abortion, contraception and education, including sex education, are available to all and their is a clear separation between what are considered religious ideas and what are scientific concepts. They also have some of the fastest cars in the world and the safest roads on the planet where you can travel at sub-light speeds legally.
As slashdot's regular defender of all things German ( I have a Bavarian family) and rebutter of this sort of FUD, I am not too worried about./ propagating ridiculous stereotypes about this country and its very open, liberal and democratic society, because it means fewer people with those daft opinions will come here and spoil it all for me. It's a beautiful part of the world as well and dare I mention how similar the Germans are to the... Americans!
" a scientific skeptic attempts to evaluate claims based on verifiability and falsifiability rather than accepting claims on faith, anecdotes, or relying on unfalsifiable categories." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_skepticism
Mr Pope is not Mulder and that was a work of fiction. The advent of the mobile phone with built in camera has demonstrated the ability of ordinary individuals to photograph events as they happen and distribute them to the news media. The use of this facility to distribute all of the breaking news on UFO's, The Bigfoot, Men in Black, The Secret Warehouse of Post Office Rubber Bands and anything else you care to mention from the lexicon of Grand Conspiracy, is observed by the remarkable phenomenon: Deafening Silence.
British Civil Servants regularly despatch important material (The Web Of Fear) and unimportant material (student essays) to the shredder, for a wealth of reasons but I am sure if there were any real evidence of any of the above conspiracies, human nature being what it is, they would have published a book by now. The lecture tour of American, would be worth at least $100 million. Yet here we are on slash dot where "information wants to be free" having the regular custard pie fight about something that the protaganist blame their failure to present any demonstrable evidence supporting their "hypothesis" on an equally absurd conspiracy of silence. Change the subject to Intelligent Design and see if you can tell the difference.
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
is the problem that dogs education. Where universities and colleges are independent of the demands of the market they continue to produce graduates from the faculties they have using the existing staff, who in many cases have life tenure. Where the institution has some response to the market - sudden shifts in technology or changes in employment patterns, the lead time required to create the resourcing and skilled staff and generate a syllabus is often a lengthy trial by form. In a normal Scottish College it takes at least one year to have a new course accepted and then there is the further time needed to recruit staff and purchase resources ( a trial all by itself). By the time the course is on-line at least two years have passed and who knows then whether the external demand for skilled labour hasn't already changed. It is axiomatic that institutions provide courses based on their existing staff and resources which makes the head count much easier. In my college their was one member of the administration for every member of the teaching staff. Who knows what all these people did and why but one thing was certain change was to be resisted and all of the irreconcilable differences between what could be taught and what the market needed was something to be glossed over by the marketing department. At that time the country needed plumbers but we churned out Communications Graduates (whatever that mickey mouse qualification is.) whose first words in their new job would most likely have been "Shall I supersize that for you?"
Drive-ins disappeared when the demographic changed. No different from all those opera houses 10 miles apart in the mid-west in the days of the horse. Newspaper were originally freesheets providing information about ship cargos. Advertising used this platform and it was profitable. Not much cargo news in papers these days but then the platform is changing too in much the same way as the evolution from radio as a profitable ad platform to television in the 50s and 60s. The model is not really in hands of the newspaper magnates, it is in the hands of the consumers and the advertisers
Any monkey story will automatically degrade into theology versus Science when the total number of posts exceeds 3. It is really not important whether or not people accept Darwinism - evolution will still be dealing the hand they and their descendants get.
There is no need to argue with them, that is what they want, they want the air of publicity. As for the rest of us Darwinist Protestants, I, like many, celebrate this find and look forward to the addition to the sum total of human knowledge it will provide

My lecturing day has had a huge weight lifted from my shoulders and with the supplementary purchase of the bigger battery, it runs for almost eight hours. One day I am sure it will become a very, very small server although I suppose by then a blade server will be smaller than the connecting socket and use less power than a Gnat on speed.
In any DTP class at least one student would declare that either they hated computers or computers hated them. "But dear student it is just a hunk of plastic and metal, it honestly harbours no feelings for you neither good nor bad." This was in a room where six imacs were set to giggle randomly.
Of course quite a lot of us consume coffee because we enjoy drinking it. Same with tea. And Snus. This is just another "Research Paper" turned into tabloid journalism for those who enjoy stimulants of a different ilk with less flavour.

This is because a German education is very narrowly focussed and becames even narrower the further up the education process you go.
In a lecture hall of students only one of them would know what Star-Trek was. If they were MS fans they would profess to know nothing at all about Linux and vice versa. They would be remarkably lucky to achieve even five points in the Geek Test. They would not buy anything - anything at all (not even I need a Japanese Girlfriend hoodies) from think.geek.com. They do not know how to modify an X-Box or anything else worth modifying. None of them have ever heard of The Smashing Pumpkins. None of them can cook. None of them can operate any domestic appliance. They profess to never watch television. They know nothing about the delights of caffiene (mmm!) or Snus and they would think noodles are pasta. They accept the absence of a romantic partner in their lives with teutonic fatalism. Some of them do have girlfriends, some of them play video games and some of them (the ones on my course) look forward to the day when they will be able to play DNF on some liquid sodium cooled supercomputer or the X Box 3.
And just in case you missed it, Reuters is unable to tell the difference between a Geek and a Nerd.
Don't panic.
With Obama in the Whitehouse everything will be fine. They'll be rebuilding the Whitehouse dome within a few days of the disaster and as I have already mentioned in a previous post on a similar Pollyanna-ish topic, the Germans will of course rebuild civilisation in less time and with greater efficiency and to a much higher quality specification than the last couple of times they had to do it (Collapse of Rome, Black Death).
