[QUOTE="SteveL54, post: 395066, member: 17080"] So here's what happened. I took a shot of some Christmas Carolers that were performing during an event in my town, which I posted on my social media page. The site that hosts the event contacted me, and asked if they could use the picture for their profile picture. I agreed, and asked only to give me credit for using the picture. No problem. Today, I look in the "big city" newspaper near us, and there is my picture on the "social events" page. WOO-HOO! But the credit to the picture? "Contributed"....... I've never had this happen before. Looks like they just copied the picture from the social media site and printed it. Dang. At least give me a bit of recognition here! I have my copyright embedded in the EXIF, but no watermark on the picture. Looks like I'll have to start doing this as of today. So my question is - Should I call the newspaper and ask for some credit? Or just let it go, and chalk it up to my own negligence for not using a watermark? [/QUOTE]
