Should have posted this with the results of running Garth's through their
grinder:
If you run your own name through (or someone else's) and get thumbnails
back, check out the copyright at the bottom . . . it's a simple one from
Lycos' with the year 2000. It's the only copyright on the page; no
conditions, exceptions or stipulations.
I ain't no lawyer, so I gotta conclude on the face of it that a Lycos
copyright notice, without any amplification about what it covers, claims
rights to entire page content. That would include all the images appearing
on it, quite a few of which, if not all, are not theirs to claim any rights
to. That part bothers me.
Found a number mixed in with those that came up with my name that are not
mine either. If I use my middle initial, it comes up with one batch and
without it an even bigger batch. It undoubtedly pulls up every "Gary
Edwards" image their web page crawler has found, without regard to which
"Gary Edwards" it might be. I'd bet with your name there's more than one
listing for it in the phone book in your own home town.
Found a number of what looks like rugby pix under Garth's name that are
from some Australian site. Great pix. Garth, have you been doing sports
photography in Australia lately and got 'em posted on another site there?
