[OpenGLAM] Enter 1st Europeana Creative Challenge & win an incubation package

Fri Feb 14 05:50:16 UTC 2014

Dear Joris:
.
Because I advocate copyright reform, I need to be scrupulous about not 
infringing copyright.

Social network sharing is far more effective when eye catching images 
are used, so I broke my own rule and copied and pasted the last supper 
image on the Europeana blog to share on my Pinterest and g+ social 
networks.  Even though this use is to promote the contest, I am very 
uncomfortable doing it, and so this is as far over the copyright line as 
I care to step.  Although Europeana is wonderfully clear about their 
digitized works being in the Public Domain, the image in question shows 
DaVinci's work along with its doppelganger which is a modern photograph 
and therefore copyrighted content.

It would be a good idea to suggest to Europeana (and anyone else sharing 
publicity images) that such images should be clearly licensed for 
sharing.  (If they are, I couldn't find any evidence of it.)   Thanks!

Regards,
Laurel L. Russwurm
