    I'll be d@mned! Look at the bright side, if the purpose of the chart was "education" maybe they helped spread the word.

    First off, there is no copyright expressed or implied when you post something in a public forum.
    Second, I would not be pissed that they USED it because the purpose IS to educate people.
    I would be pissed that they did not ASK to use it.
    If they had asked and it was my chart, I would grant permission as long as it was credited to me.

    I maintain a large collection of technical pictures on my website.
    I also have posted a "terms of usage" in that folder.

    Many people have asked to use it, and all I've asked for is a link to where it's posted, that they include a link back to here if people want to discuss it, and that they keep my name on it.

    Actually yes it is. That chart is copyrighted work of rob.

    May I suggest:

    http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html#hsc

    How to Secure a Copyright
    Copyright Secured Automatically upon Creation

    ...

    Copyright is secured automatically when the work is created, and a work is “created” when it is fixed in a copy or phonorecord for the first time....


    Now that it has been published, rob is at risk of not being credited with owning the copyright, as Combat Tactics has probably claimed copyright to it in the publication of their magazine. Thus he needs to take action immediately.

    Not correct. As a photographer if my work is displayed on a web page it is still copyrighted.

    You don't know me from Adam but just wanted to say sorry to see someone rip off your hard work.

    Thanks for the chart at any rate. A lot of work went into it I'm sure and it shows. Big help to the shooting community at large and you should receive credit for it.

    Have you gotten a response from the editor and publisher?

    I just got the magazine out of the mailbox 5 minutes ago. The publisher is listed as "InterMedia Specialty Group" with no contact information beyond a physical address, and the editor is listed as Cameron Hopkins, again with no contact information.

    Incidentally, the stupid ass used an old version of the chart that has some errors in it that he didn't even bother to fact-check.

    Anyone know if this discussion has cropped up on TOS? They had such a fit over the chart the last time they ought to be really thrilled now that it's been published.
