so do they get recompense for all the above pics from a year ago (and longer ago elsewhere obv) which are still live and linkable?

It's a bit of a shadowy area. I think, to be honest, a lot of those pics have gone up under agreements that probably don't allow them to be available in perpetuity. But the web's frontier country for intellectual property. It's all a bit hard to control and results in arguments between the various parties about digital-reuse clauses in contracts. Similar problems with text. Big chunks of pre-web newspaper archives have been pulled because fears of lawsuits by freelancers.

Can someone who speaks German tell me why these people are smiling?

Just finished swinging on gigantic phone.

the copy says, more or less:

Top bankers listen and respond to savers

Where would my money be safe?
What shall I do with my shares?
Ask the experts on the phone at 1pm.

so they're smiling because the newspaper is giving them a load of cash to placate its readers, presumably.

i seem to remember ipc freelances and staffers threatening a walk-out in the early 2000s over online republishing of printed copy. can't remember what happened though.

(although i'd imagine they were very quickly "persuaded" to sign a contract allowing once-only online reprinting for no extra payment)

CharlieNo4, Friday, 10 October 2008 12:09 (fifteen years ago) link

Thanks, and it explains the dangling phone.
