It's because the image title defaults to the file name of the uploaded file. If you hover over the image you'll see the full name including the DPC image number.

I was just wondering why he didn't credit the dpc images too....?

How the bloody heck do you comply via email then?

"1. an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;"

"Please note that, due to security concerns, attachments cannot be accepted. Accordingly, any notification of infringement submitted electronically with an attachment will not be received or processed."

This means that you can't send "an electronic or physical signature" since it will ALWAYS be sent as an attachment. Morons.

Maybe we at DPC should all get a plan and all call their (Flickr) telephone number at the same time, within 10 minutes or so. That should get some attention to the problem.
ETA, Unless it's one of those Dam# push 3 to talk to no one things at that number.

I believe the simple act of typing your name on an email sent by you can qualify as an electronic or physical signature. It certainly would not hurt to try anyway. The requirements I think are pulled and quoted directly from the DMCA. Not sure though... maybe someone with more knowledge can confirm that (too lazy to check myself!)

Flickr is simply using the 'caption' field from the EXIF info stored in the file by corbis.

Yup, lots of things count as a 'digital signature' it doesn't have to be a scanned copy of your physical signature. It also isn't a cryptographic signature - just something that can be identified as belonging to you - an email address might even count, though that's debatable.

Earth Link shut down a person's web site that was using my images based on the DMCA form letter that I sent via e-mail. They said that was fine I didn't have to send a snail mail copy. I did anyway, but the e-mail worked just fine.

Wait until he finds out Judi blasted him with a comment...and it's still there. Just to be nasty I send them an email complaining about this little jerk! All of the stuff was uploaded yesterday! I like the idea of the "stolen from DPC" and then maybe the copy right info?
Lazy thieves...

Well, at least on Flickr, if you go straight to the results, I agree it looks bad. But if you check out the portfolios of these "thieves", it's completely obvious that these are just collections of cool internet images. I don't think the portfolio owners are trying to make people believe they are the photographers. And it doesn't look like they can make any money from them, either. A photo credit would be nice, sure, but maybe this sort of "theft" should be considered a compliment?

I've just posted "Image ripped off from DPChallenge and is not the work of the poster." on each one of those on Flickr. I don't care if people think they're cool and are presenting collections - no credit to the original photographer is plagiarism, and I have zero tolerance for it.

Interestingly if you are in the UK and follow the Copyright/IP Policy at the bottom of the Flickr pages it brings you to this page which has a link to an online form to report your potential copyright infringement.

And these are just the idiots posting without changing the titles (presumably they're just dropping them into the uploadr tool) - there must be many many more that have been changed and/or edited.

Is there any way for DPC to add EXIF data when the photos are uploaded? (e.g. replace the name field with (c) DPC on behalf of ). I know it's not foolproof but it would probably help identify a lot of the image thieves.

Use an email signature. See here for a free one: //www.thawte.com/secure-email/personal-email-certificates/index.html

Which gets sent as a MIME attachment to the email. I know all about digital certificates.

An electronic signature can be as simple as just typing your full legal name at the end of an email.

thwate and all that provide digital signatures which is a significantly different thing than an electronic signature.
