JAMILY, WE HAVE A PROBLEM! PLEASE READ URGENTLY!!!
Dear Jamily,
we received a serious warning, implicating that Jamirotalk is violating copyrights in about 400 cases.
Experts found out that users have posted lots of pictures/photographs from other websites mainly from jamiroquai live concerts. Those copyrighted pics have been directly linked into topics and included into the image tags, some have been downloaded and uploaded to users sites and have been linked from there.
The originators (photographers, photographers) normally sell those photos for about 100-200 EUR each!! and they are angry about the fact that they have found numerous cases of copyright violation on our site.
As I am the owner of the site I am in trouble now and have to sort this out immediately.
Fortunately we have been given the opportunity to remove all copyrighted photos from the forum within very few hours, which I consider as being a nice gesture). Miran and I are just figuring out, what the best way might be to accomplish this without closing the whole forum.
As an instant action I have temporarily removed the whole LIVE section because I think there will be most of the pics. It will be back soon.
Please, for the future:
DO NOT POST ANY PHOTOS FROM PRESS SITES OR OTHER THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE, MATERIAL FROM WHICH YOU DON'T KNOW THE COPYRIGHT STATUS.
To link to the websites (not to the pictures) of the providers of those photos is no problem and is even appreciated by the providers, but do not include the pics into the postings, please. And do not link to your photoalbums on google or elsewhere, should you have copyrighted photos in there.
Please report any evidence of pictures, that might be drawn from third party sites and might be a copyright violation by PMing me or MIran (funkmaster).
Thanks for your understanding and support!!

I have removed some more sections... because I cannot be sure if there aren't any pics posted. I have to go to all topics and threads now and check every posted pic, if it is copyrighted or not... I ask myself if this is even possible? I can only tell from the pics I have posted myself.. I don't know how you guys got all the pics you have posted...
This will take months, I think... maybe we have to remove ALL pics.
Please, if you see topics with copyrighted photos which I haven't removed yet, send me a PM with a link!!

No, just it to Meike - she has to review it herself anyway.
Thanks for your support. |

It's a shame that a non-commercial fansite has to deal with stuff like this. But these things happen and I understand the will of photographers or the owners of the pics to earn money.
I can only say: Groovy Funky Thumbs Up for you admins and moderators for all your hard work to create this corner of the earth where we can share our love for Jamiroquai. _________________
