Does the ChipGuide have permission to use every image that's been submitted?

Yes. Otherwise the submission does not go through.

Oh Jesus effing Christ. Someone please ban this account this is getting so ridiculous. If I wanted to be miserable I'd just go to the Chipguide.

 

[RocAFella1]

Yes. Otherwise the submission does not go through.

So how did @mipevi pic go through without permission?

 

[jpietrella]

The images are copyrighted. You are allowed to use them, just mention where you got them from, the ChipGuide. Is that too much to ask?

You're officially the worst person ever.

 

[dkellerd]

No doubt it a loved and used site, save for the copyright nonsense.

I’m not seeing content given for the ChipGuide to copyright derivative work.

If I’m wrong, educate me. But until that’s done, ChipGuide claiming copyright is nonsense.

In addition to that law…this law describes how the manner in which these images are used on PCF, is completely legal. No sourcing needed at all, no matter if Chip owns the image or not.

Lastly, the court finds that a reasonable person could infer that Chip does not own said images, based upon evidence to date. A key factor supporting this inference is the fact that the submission form does not ask the alleged owner to transfer ownership.

I feel like I'm teaching my Sophomore students about citations and IP all over again.

Yes. Otherwise the submission does not go through.

What is the safeguard stopping me from submitting someone else's image? 'Does not go through', what does that look like?

 

[jpietrella]

The ChipGuide is a project of the chip collecting community. Collectors submit their images to the ChipGuide through the submission form or in bulk directly to an administrator. Collectors own the images as submitted. The ChipGuide owns the edited images. Every image is edited: rotated, cropped, lighting corrected, size adjusted if it is too large, converted to JPG if in another format, distortion removed, and EXIF information is added.

You artist, you.

. Scanners provide a more accurate image of the chip.

So many lolz.

If you SUBMIT the form without clicking the OWNERSHIP box, you get the following message:

Message: ​

So if I submit an image because I have permission to use it, the Chipguide can claim copyright and prevent others from using it? That’s laughable.

 

[Perthmike]

I salute the @ChipGuide. this is one of the greatest troll jobs in the history of pcf.

You got us, we are a bunch of scrub donkeys. Good job

Years of planning. Executing. Just for this moment.

Peaches, I like you. But the snort is all on your owner. My lawyers hold me harmless to any laughs I create thru my sarcasm. Read the bylaws.

 

[BGinGA]

Yes. Otherwise the submission does not go through.

Sorry, but that is an absolute lie. GTFO.

@ChipGuide

Does anyone actually view that dinosaur of a website.

I have my Commodore 64 running and fully patched for no curtesy at the chip guide and ancient old chip board

It’s operating on a server so old you can’t migrate it to something current

 

[TomC727]

This thread has been incredibly entertaining.

If you use copyrighted images without permission, eventually you will be caught. There are companies, check out PIXSY. that look for copyright violations and then present the website owners with outrageous bill's ($1,000's) for the use of an image and then will eventually sue you if you don't pay up. I am trying to work out a deal to allow PCF members to use ChipGuide images (for non-commercial use) without having to mention the source. But, until then, if you use a ChipGuide please mention where you got it from. This is not something that I like to do, but I need to protect the work of 1,000's of collectors and ChipGuide administrators who donated their time and money to create the ChipGuide.

You need better legal advice.

Meanwhile, don't expect anyone here to comply or to take you seriously unless you 1) adequately identify yourself, and 2) explain why you think this laughable overseer task is somehow your personal responsibility.
