"Naz..i have so many issues wid dat editorial eh...hmmm

1. wah he mean by "so called" photographer?

2. Even lil me knows from school u cannot just take ppls work and use to your own convenience! so wat assness he talking bout copyright laws..early
early dey taught us about plagerism and authorised use of ppls intellectual property and if dey aint adhering to dat what u supposed to do not sue dey
royal ass? If he playin stupid den why he have embargo on d same editorial??
Its d same damn principle!

3. What u charge for ur pics, i believe u have right to charge..cause the work u do Naz, is only u and Oliver i seee wid dat kinda dedication..Plus,
as i mentioned yesterday, when he take ur pics and use in his paper and make hundreds of thousands..DO YOU GET A CENT FOR UR WORK???

4. The terms and conditions of your contract between u and GCC is just that..BETWEEN YOU AND GCC...u answer to Dowe not George Worme!!! If he want
answers...question Dowe! You would be rather out of place and superceding authority if u take it on yourself to defend any part of your contract! That
is for GCC to do not you..so u well right in not answering questions!when i listened to it the first t

5. Dis man feel is ONLY GCC u working wid? All dem Rhum Rhunners Cruise u suffer urself and go on..wat GCC have to do with dat...D few links that u
have that actually relate to GCC in anyway are all on d World Wide Web..he is failing to see that those vids and you are doing a far greater job in
marketin our festival than he would ever do ...AND THAT IS A FACT!

6. "if in future these videos are ever removed to a pay per view domain..who gets d royalties?" " .....If Nazim Benjamin sells or uses these photos in
any for profit situation how does the GCC benefit as the ones that created the event to cause the photos and also how does the subjects in the photos
benefit from the use of their images?"

PPl like Worme and so on only do things for monetary gain! Why would u remove the photos in d first place?? they are failing to see that its your
love for country that have u suffering in d dew at dawn takign pics when u should be home wid ur wife!!!!!!!!

All i have to say is the GCC is benefiting from all the free publicity on partygrenada..when i tell some ppl about GCC website ..its first time dey
hearing about it....EVERYBODY KNOWS PARTYGRENADA! GCC should be paying you cause u more up to speed dan dem anyday!"

what really blows my mind is this how many times has george worme used his so called pictures to make money for himself through the sales of his newspaper where he showcases these pics? that man is something else lol. also in mentioning the law suits by the previous government he forgot to mention that the same government he is talking about happen to have WON all their cases against him lol so much so he has now to hide behind other names in shame because he couldnt pay what the same courts ordered him to pay lol

so for someone that seems so interested in what if right by law is it not funny that he is using loop holes to get away from abiding by said laws?
nazim stay strong keep doign what you are doing your work and effort is being appreciated by many

i am responding without looking at the editorial. But George is just one media man who will not make it in trinidad - there are picture whose main job is to go out there and get photos and sell it.

A professional is always a professional and if you put down professional work - people will need you and not a man like George can get rid of you.

so you dont have to study George.

I work for the Associated Press and Quash is my photographer for AP stories - he need to ask quash how much he is paid for a photo. Maybe i will sent another comment after reading the editorial

Nazim,

I didnot get any attachment to listen to read or do i wait until Sunday. However from what i am reading it appears that the editorial centred on your "photo for use notice." Because i didnot hear the editorial i cannot comment on it.

But, i do know that photographers has a right especially if its exclusive to claim compensation for their work - a good picture is not different to a good song or book. However, in Grenada the law is not specific with regards to copyright and regards to print work. Only recently i was sharing my concern with another media colleagues that grenada need to form the copyright association for print work - it may appear automatic but there is an association the necessary legislation can be pass - so if you are interesting in that tell us talk about that.

sincerely

Woy yoy!
Worme real stupid.

"If a photo is sold how are the persons in the photo compensated for use..."

How many times do we need to tell people this?
Editorial usages require no model releases and no compensation for the parties depicted. Newspaper cover = editorial.

Commercial usages DO require model releases and often compensate the parties depicted. Coke advertisement = commercial.

Either way - editorial or commercial - you are well within your right to profit from the production of an image and are under no obligation to share that revenue with anyone.
