"A new legislation that has been rushed through parliament with no thought has now reached royal assent. This legislation means that photographers and illustrators alike will see their artworks legally taken and used for another's own gain.

Unless your works are registered or plastered with a watermark, anyone can use your copyrighted work for their own commercial and personal gains provided they have made a small effort to search for the original owner. If no owner can be found, they are free to do with it whatever they want."

Threating? Yes, it is! And despite that this only concerns UK law it might affect all of us - all around the world. So, if you are UK-based photographer please do not hesitate to sign the petition to nip this broken idea in the bud. You can find relevant Dyxum thread in here (some previous info is in here). 

p.s.

Spreading "the word" among fellow photogs is not a bad idea either ...

Just to let you know: the Dyxum Rules And Guidelines have just been updated slightly - to better express our concern with copyright issues (not that we have too much problems with that). Anyway we believe that this is the right time for all of us to jump right to the 

==> Rules And Guidelines <==

in order to refresh our knowledge :-)

Our AMAE team (Admins, Mods, AlphaEyes) has been extended with two new AlphaEyes: MichelvA and happyjack.

Please check this introductory post for all details.

Please see the DPE 2012 registration thread for all details (and to learn what the DPE is about). 

And if you wonder how the previous editions looked like then jump right to DPE 2009,  DPE 2010,  and  DPE 2011.

Our AMAE team has just been enforced with a new Alpha Eye: Shay Tal, aka rovhazman.

One of the most troublesome parts of preparation of Dyxum Weekly Exhibitions is, as we call it, "harvesting of photos" - just a nice term to describe the process of getting candidates for the Exhib, which then get scrutinized to obtain about 20 "best of the best" shots which are published every week on Friday. The whole process is described in here. 

Now, we believe that it would be great to get some help from the whole Dyxum community. Nothing tedious. Nothing problematic. Please just take a look at  this thread where we described whole concept.

A small modification of Dyxum Rules And Guidelines has just been announced - just to make our copyright rules more clear. Please see this post for full announcement. Please feel free to provide the feedback by replying to the above linked post.
