the argentinian schoolbook and me
i don’t have a story like iron man and me, but a nice one to tell anyways:
about four months ago a miss gómez castro contacted me through flickr about my photo our guide steffen i shot about four years ago with an ultracheap disposable underwater camera in sharm el sheikh.
she wrote me that she came across my photo and she:
… found it very interesting and we would like to use it for educational purposes in a book. We´re currently editing for the publishing company Santillana Group in Argentina.
This photo would be appropriate as supporting graphical material for an interior page dealing with related subject matter. It would be included in a book for elementary school, to be used in public and private schools.
i quickly agreed that she can use the image with proper attribution and now, after some emailing back and forth, she has sent me the final page from the book. and i have to say that i’m quite pleased with the result, but judge for yourself: here’s a screenshot of the page of the book:
good copy, bad copy
jan linked to it ages ago, yesterday evening i finally found the time to watch the “documentary about the current state of copyright and culture”, quite a good movie where dj danger mouse, lawrence lessig and many more are interviewed.
the movie sheds light on different ways of putting a copyright on movies/music and the like and is definitely worth your time. watch the full movie (59′) below (tip to the hat to blip.tv) or download it via bittorent here…
