Just recently, my boss asked me to create a draft of guidelines on using digital images and other copyrighted materials. It all started when I used these images from Devianart for a certain e-flyer the Sales and Marketing pips need. As usual, I tweaked it a bit to make it slightly different from the original file. And I though I made a mess when our big boss got us all to verify if those images can be used without facing any infringement issues. When things spruced up, I just told my boss that I know a lot of web chaps doing the same thing I did practically on de facto principle. Now, did I just make it as an excuse? I don’t think so. It’s true. Public ownership takes effect once you put things up on the net; not until I read this fair use and published guidelines articles that is making my day quite uneasy. It’s giving me a big headache.
Firstly, I don’t how to start my draft. I thought I can do the draft in a breeze. But after I have read those useful craps, I can barely write a line. It’s quite a broad issue and it overwhelms me now.
Secondly, my friends pulled me in last night to watch the Pirates the second time around. They refused to watch it without me. As if I can do something on that, so I ended up watching it again. And while watching, the blogger’s instinct got to me. Let me write my views on the flick some other time. But anyways, we got home almost 1am and I’m almost hitting my monitor sneaking up a nap.
Thirdly, I guess I just woke up the wrong side of the bed. That’s it.
Now, let me go back to work and start hitting my monitor again. Hay, how do I start the draft for child’s sake, before they get me well-done.
