Deleting Copyright information

Hello All,
I've found numerous threads/articles on using Actions and Batches to add copyright metadata to files, and that's all fine and good.  My question is:  What's to keep someone from downloading my images, and merely putting their own metadata into the file?
Maybe there's something really basic I'm missing here?
How are you guys handling this kind of stuff?
Thanks for your time!
Chris

Chris,
As has been stated, that © metadata is to provide honest folk with the proper information, and also a means of contact, should it be required. Dishonest people will not be detered, even if they have to Crop, or retouch your watermark out of the image.
It's the same with video producers, who deliver their material on a DVD-Video. If they burn the disc (most common), there is no copyprotection that they can add. If they have their disc replicated, i.e. pressed by a commercial replication house, they can pay extra for various forms of copy protection, BUT almost any 12 year old has access to freeware programs that will break any/all copy protection in about as much time as it takes to load the DVD into a player.
One sage put it this way, "locks are to keep honest people out... " [maybe a paraphrase there?]
Good luck, and only deal with "honest" people,
Hunt

  • When I download a purchased album from iTunes, why is that I do not get record label information/copyright information?

    Hello all,
    I have OCD, and all my music is Purchased from iTunes. I used to have all my albums correctly organized and catelogued, and they always had their respective record labels/copyright information.
    I had to redownload some music, and they are coming without this tag. Does anyone know why?
    I have already deleted/redownload the whole library many times and it looks random. On my iPhone for example, the same album from Amy Winehouse yesterday was download twice, one time it came with all the correct tags, the next time it did not.
    WHY does this happen? Where are we downloding music from?
    This really bothers me. My music looks like it is not original and honestly I´m getting tired of trying to redownload everything over and over. I know these tags can be added manually - BUT I paid, and iTunes isn´t cheap, so what the ****?
    And I know many might think this is very stupid, but it is a tag, as any other tag. What if your next redownload came with no album art?

    You're not OCD.  If you were OCD you would be so concerned about order that you would have a proper backup of your library and you could instantly replace anything missing with the exact beautifully organized copy you had before from the tragic and devastating disappearance of the track from your computer.  If you have to re-download from Apple because something went missing on your computer it means sloppy computer habits.
    I don't have any iTunes Store purchases but when I saw one on a computer once I recall copyright being stated in the summary information.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Deleting an account from a device will not delete the information from the account, if that is what you are asking.

    It is not clear how or where you "added" your email, but you cannot create an Apple ID using an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID.
    If that is what you did, delete that email address from your family's Apple ID. You should be free to create a new one.
    Do all that by starting here: https://appleid.apple.com/
    Select "Manage your Apple ID". Log in with your family's Apple ID and then delete your own email address wherever it appears.
    Save Changes, log out, and create the new one using the same website. This time select "Create an Apple ID".
    Please don't forget your security questions, and be sure to specify a "rescue email address" that is separate from all other Apple IDs. You will avoid so many problems that way...

  • How can I delete the information in iPod touch because I lose it.

    Hi,
    I lose my iPod touch yesterday and all information in there. How can I delete those information?
    Cheers.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • I want to remove my credit card from my daughter's itunes account but i can't delete the information without getting a notification that i must have the fields filled out

    I want to remove my credit card from my daughter's itunes account but i can't delete the information without getting a notification that i must have the fields filled out. When she first got the ipod touch, we did not need to supply credit card information for her to set up her account. Only now that I entered it for one purchase, I can't remove it. Now my daughter has purchased over $300 in downloads the last two weeks.

    You definitely can.
    To remove your payment information open iTunes and go into your account. An easy way to access your account is from quick links on the store home page. After you login there will be a payment type listed with an edit button next to it. Click edit then select none under card type (next to visa, mastercard, etc).
    Afterwards at the bottom of the page select done, then your card will no longer be on file. It will prompt you for a card next time you try to download something that isn't free.

  • Is there a way to change the iCloud account on my iPhone from one email to another without deleting the first account or deleting the information currently on my phone?

    Right now my iCloud is synced through our family Apple ID. It wasn't a problem until my mom got an iPad and synced it to the same Apple ID, so now she receives all of my iMessages and FaceTime messages. I have created my own Apple account, but how do I change the Apple ID to the new one without deleting the information currently on my phone?

    First, turn everything off for iCloud...contacts, calendars, FaceTime, iMessage, notes, Find My Phone, etc. You'll be prompted to keep the data on your phone or delete it...select keep. Then: Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, set everything back up using your new ID.

  • Export DNG file with copyright information

    When importing my Canon CR2 RAW files, I convert them to DNG files into a folder with that days date, and automatically add my copyright information on import.
    If there are any photos I want to process further I'll export them to a working folder, still as a DNG file. In the export dialogue box I can't seem to be able to include all metadata information - including the copyright information.
    Will Lightroom allow me to do this? Or when exporting to my working folder, do I need to convert these files to TIFF?
    Cheers.

    When you export to DNG you don't have the option to select which metadata to export (the dialog box is grayed-out, and it defaults to All Metadata). you just export every single metadata you already have in you master file.

  • I keep getting old settings when I try to install Firefox again. I have deleted the program files and the profile, but the program is finding the old bookmarks and settings somewhere. How do I delete this information to make a clean installation?

    I have a corrupted bookmark file and want to totally delete any information on the bookmarks and settings. I have deleted any files which reference Mozilla and Firefox from my hard drive and have gone into the Registry and deleted all references to Firefox. But every time I reinstall Firefox the program finds this information. Is it in the sync folder and how do I clear out that folder?

  • Shared Itunes account to new account - deleting Icloud information

    I have always shared an Itunes account with my soon to be ex-husband, who will be keeping the account.  I need to remove my Iphone information (contacts notes etc) from Icloud but keep those contacts in my phone.  I have my own i tunes account already.  How do I make sure I can delete my information from my husbands account but not lose the contacts in my phone

    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.  After everything is turned off you can safely scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from your phone, not from iCloud.  If his phone will continue to use thie account it will not be effected by this.)  Next, set up a new iCloud account on your phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
    You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting your contacts and other information from the old account, and deleting his contacts and other information from yours).  These changes will be reflected on each phone.
    This will not move your photo stream, however.  If you have photos in photo stream that you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account.  If your computer is syncing with your iCloud account, you can download your photo stream photos to your computer directly.  If not, you will need either open them one by one and save them to your camera roll or use an app like PhotoSync, which will wirelessly transfer photos from your photo stream album to your computer all at once.  (Without using an app like this your computer will only import camera roll photos, not photo stream photos.)
    Finally, to change the ID used for purchasing go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign back in using your new ID.  To change the ID for iMessage go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in with your new ID.  Go to Settings>FaceTime and do the same thing.

  • BasicTableUI.java Copyright information

    I was wondering if someone could clarify some copyright information for me. I am Modifying BasicTableUI very heavily and some of it I could easily copy and paste, but I this is a commercial product I am working on and was curious how much flexibility there is with using snippets of the Swing source code, specifically BasicTableUI, in a closed source commercial application.
    Thank you for your time,
    Brandon

    Well we are a small two person company and do not have any lawyers, but I was just hoping someone could tell me the type of license the java source is under, an apache style license or something more like GNU?
