This would be first, but the counter suit by the MD is great also… How will Anton pay them if the case will favor the publishing media?

Goodluck…

It doesn’t take a genius to edit EXIF data. I’m sure there are other ways of comparing photos using algorithms. Check out tineye.com, this site will help you find if your photos are being used elsewhere.

[...] Anton earlier filed a Php 1.2 Million copyright lawsuit against Manila Bulletin (including the graphics artist and section editor) for publishing his photos without his permission {see earlier story here}. [...]

Im a photographer and i always make sure that my images have a copyright embeded in them. How? Sa DSLR camera meron feature na “image authentication” where you will be able to type your name. So everytime you take a picture nakatatak na yun sa image along with what exposures and lenses you used to take the picture. Hindi na mabubura yun. Kahit ilang beses icopy ung picture at manipulate ang image, the original will and must have all the info of the image.

I do hope Anton will win this case. It will make them think that they should have done negotiations with him instead

Electronic evidence as a proof for copyright infringement. Its not new. There are alot of landmark cases where digital signature has been used as evidence, even digital certificates.

Using the EXIF data as a evidence i guess it is so hard to prove. EXIF can be edited and duplicated or reproduced. I can give you the download site.

This is not the only incident. I know another photographer/artist who has been a victim with copyright infringement. It is only that both parties are willing to negotiate within acceptable terms.

I agree that Anton should pursue and fight for his rights to be compensated for publishing his work. It would be interesting to see how this one will turn out if Philippines can really protect artists from copying their creative works.

@Jan
He can and he must. We need this win to change the “Copyright” landscape in this country.

Many companies (and graphic artists at that) do not respect materials published online. I witnessed many companies who do just that. I told not to, but they never listened.

His win against MB will be a win for all of us online publishers. It is a start of a very loooong change. A change that will never happen if nobody will initiate it.

It’s better than nothing. ^^

What derailed their settlement? Hhhmmm, Mr Sheker probably asked for 10,000 per photo?

Yep, there are ways to trace the source of things found on the internet, like Photos for example using the EXIF data. There are other ways also other than the EXIF

@PinoyBlogero
Manila Bulletin doesn’t know any better, you know why? Because they think they can use anything found on the Internet.

Remember, before the CC days, blog-explosion days, etc. there was this notion that “everything you put online becomes a public property”? If you’re not familiar with that, then I’m sure that’s what MB or their people thought.

Times changed, Copyright protection are more powerful today than before. A decade ago, people will laughed at you for publishing your stuff online. Today, people will sue you for republishing their materials “published online”.
