Dinaya sa Dinagyang

Yet another case of copyright infringement - this time by a local newspaper.

When you go to these festivals, it pays to scan the local newspapers. You just might find one --- or one dozen --- of your photos published without your permission.

Anton mentioned in another forum that aside from the newspaper mentioned in the link, another newspaper and a government website were found to have been using his Dinagyang photos.

Another government entity using stolen photos???!!! Do we not have the Intellectual Property Office???

We do, actually. And here are items 4 and 5 of the IPO's mission statement:

4. Steering effectively government agencies, academe, the private sector and civil society in raising awareness of the value of intellectual property and pursuing a unified national IP strategy.

5. Vigorously coordinating and aligning the efforts of government agencies and the private sector in promoting respect and strengthening enforcement of IPR.

Re: Dinaya sa Dinagyang

People like these are without morals. The kind of people that wouldn't hesitate to sell their mothers, wives and children for money. Shame on you!!!

The word "unique" does not apply to Anton's IP predicaments anymore. =)
