Dear friend,
Thanks for alerting us to the use of one of your photos from Dungun.net. I have removed the said photos from the two Malaysiakini reports concerned.
Please accept our apologies and I shall look into how the photo was inadvertantly used in Malaysiakini.
Regards,
Steven Gan
Malaysiakini editor-in-chief

All Right Reserved meant ;
* the right to reproduce the work (make copies) ;
* the right to adapt it (make new versions) ;
* the right to distribute or publish the work;

* the right to display it.
Stating “all rights reserved” is simply a way of saying that you, the copyright holder, keep all those rights unless you specifically give someone else permission to copy it, display it, etc.
Although I am not a professional photographer nor a lawyer , and that picture is ugly i know that.. but I do know that I can sue malaysiakini for distributing the picture I taken without asking me first when it’s already stated in flickr with All Right Reserved.
Picture copyright infringements is a serious matter on Internet. I suppose normal people wouldn’t care to understand it but for an establish Media ..
So.. who wants to be my lawyer ?
