So are you saying someone can purchases photos, let's assume they are not copyrighted, and you can charge more or less depending on their use...? what if they're public domain photos, for this purpose no copyright issues...but you have say the only copies of the photos...why would you care what the use will be? or is it strictly a money issue...they will generate a revenue from the photos so that justifies charging more... Seems to me the charges should be based on, costs of materials and reproduction with a say 15% profit margin.... Otherwise you folks need to get into the internet database business, that would generate a better revenue....:) That might be an interesting argument, if you have the same material being requested on a continuing bases...to save resources the material should be preserved in a more efficient manner... Just thinking, just thinking....:) ----Original Message Follows---- From: Mark Myers <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: Mark Myers <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [ARCHIVES] Chuck's ethical issue Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 08:28:10 -0700 Ginny, That's basically the same in KY. Technically, requesters are not "required" to provide information other than the request, but agencies can require them to sign for the record. It's really kind of weird. The agency still can't ask for the purpose, but requesters are required to disclose a commercial use. Just thought that might provide a way out of the unusual request for Chuck by giving him a backing for the extra charge, and possibly damping any kind of commercial use of the photos. Although it doesn't address his question of informing others.
