'Photo by <your_user_name>' title - change to neutral

Post Wed May 12, 2004 10:14 pm


Hi,

I just noticed today that pbase automatically adds a <title> to every image page of the format:

<image name> photo by <user name> at pbase.com (which shows up as the browser title)

The problem is that many of us host photo-arts or retouching where we created the retouched versions (with permission) but not the photo itself.

Therefore, it is incorrect to assume that all photos in a person's gallery are taken by that person. The 'photo by' seems to assume just that

Though no one has told me specifically, it could land up into unecessary copyright and ownership discussions.

Would it be feasible to change this to a more neutral

"<image name> - <user name> photo galleries"

or something similar ?

ok.
there's a change that removes the "by" in the title.

i doubt there would be any copyright ownership complaints if the actual artist is mentioned somewhere else on the page.
