Science, so what? Pure thievery is what.
Written by David WhiteIn case you missed the post about the recent “Science, so what competition” it’s down the page a bit here.
“Frank”, whoever he may be, finished off his message (under comments on the above link) to us with the line:
“If you have any more concerns then please add them here or drop me a line via the website and I’ll do my best to help!”
Which would appear to be a lie. We have many concerns, as do a large number of photographers, and Frank has been sod all help. I explained clearly and simply what was needed to make the competition fair. Simple things such as not allowing News International to be able to use ALL entries for ANY purpose in ANY media, for FREE, FOREVER. Frank’s lame understanding of the issues was highlighted in his reply to the duck. That’s fine, Frank doesn’t have to understand. His lawyers do, and they’re the crafty ones who know EXACTLY what they are doing. Frank’s innocence and naivety are very sweet, but, frankly, useless, as evinced by his inability to follow up on his words above.
I expect Murdoch to try this on. I don’t expect the Government to play along. Yet again my MP will be getting another letter, and I am outlining the problems to Lord Drayson. Shameless.
