We are thinking about to translate the article from The neon or cleaning Gobies from Ultra Magazine in U.K. We having a Dutch marine reef magazine for Belgium and Netherland. When this is possible we can also publish some links or some advertisements of your websites or books into our magazine off course totally free. The only problem is the resolution of the pictures, can you send us the originals because otherwise the resolution is not good for publishing. Thinks in advance for your answer Kind regards Serge www.belgianseawater.be www.dreamreef.be <Serge... is this a "for profit" venture? If so, you will have to pay for the use of my content. Bob Fenner. > Re: Permission to translate some articles into the Dutch language 2/23/09 Bob, <Serge> At this moment this project is a non profit adventure. But from January 2010 we will try this to make a profit adventure. We are looking to get some advertisement inputs for the next year. So for us it's not any problem to pay for your articles from January 2010. I hope we can use in to meantime your content for free and from January 2010 we can use your content in a pay schedule off course. What are the costs to use your content? <An even hundred dollars per article, including graphics for Net re-posting> Then I can talk with to others to arrange something for next year. I hope we can have a positive reaction from your site to this question. Kind regards Serge <Let's wait till early next year, and chat then. Bob Fenner> Question on Forum ~ 01/12/09 Good morning Crew, I have a an offbeat question for Bob. I am a member of the WWM forum, and am writing an article for the newsletter. I was wondering if I could use any of the pictures on wetwebmedia.com for the article. thanks dean < Yes Dean. All of my work is free for non-commercial uses. Content Use policy here: http://wetwebmedia.com/WWMUsePolicyStmt.htm Thank you for your efforts. Bob Fenner> A question.. WWM content use 10/13/08 I am in the process of writing a small book - a cheat sheet (if you want to call it that) - basically the process i used in setting up my tank. There is only one reference info site I want to give, and yours is it. <Okay> Can I have permission to put your website in it? <Mmm, the website in it? Am not following you here> I would even put your name & the website - if that's what you prefer! Let me know! THANK YOU! Judy Carley (if you agree add your name & website, and just give me permission so I can print it out for my records...) -- www.nunyasworld.com <p> Have a GREAT day! <You are welcome to link, cite WWM... but not copy its contents, post elsewhere. Bob Fenner> Re: A question.. 10/13/08 yes! that's what I wanted, and won't post any contents from your site! <Ah, good. Thank you for your efforts. BobF> Your site is BY FAR the BEST information resource available.. If it were printed out - can you imagine how many pages it would be? probably a minimum of 10 - 700 page volumes! <Mmm... a little more than this... by about twice, depending on the font size... Cheers, B> Using an article you have for my customers 9/6/08 The Conscientious Marine Aquarist Blue Green Algae/Cyanobacteria, Identification, Causes & Control by Bob Fenner I would like to email this article to my customers may I have permission to do so? Dave Beckett The House of Tropical fish Windsor Ontario <Ah, no... as you are a for-profit enterprise, you may not use my content for free. However you are more than welcome to simply refer any/all to our site, specific URLs. Bob Fenner> Re: Copepod Mania; CA magazine... Image/Content Use f's - 7/24/08 Hi Neale - Thank you for taking the time to read my article. I found a few errors in the article which are important to fix. I am attaching the rewrites, which are in almost every paragraph, so please read through it again. For example, males do not release their sperm into the water like corals, they impregnate the females and she releases her fertilized eggs into the water. This differs from the copepods that hold onto their fertilized eggs until they hatch. So, I made a mistake by calling them "broadcast spawners", they just broadcast fertilized eggs. I also found several other biological and grammatical errors that were not caught in your rewrite, so I have hopefully uncovered and fixed all of those. I would donate pictures, except that the copyright and photo credit information was removed from the last set I sent to the magazine for my last article. Because I am frequently ripped off by less experienced people, I would prefer to have any images with a watermark or identifying copyright information retained. I am not sure what Bob's policy on this is, but it really irks me when I see some guy on eBay using my pictures he copied from your magazine. I hope you understand. It is more difficult to prove my case when the picture has had all identifying information removed. So, Bob - what do you suggest? <Hey Adelaide... my/our content use policy is posted here: http://wetwebmedia.com/WWMUsePolicyStmt.htm Basically I allow all non-commercial uses gratis for my content... A bit of gray area for uses that include "some" promotion/paid advertising... But to be clear, my work is free to both of you for whatever use. For all others (other than myself) we purchase/buy "one time, non-exclusive use" of work... i.e., it's not ours to sell, offer for free to anyone else... As with "taxes" in their various formats, taking other people's property w/o their express consent is thievery... Though, as you state, almost impossible to police on the Net... We've had "good luck" thus far w/ folks not lifting other peoples' works... Cheers, BobF, out in HI, where he wishes you and Neale were visiting> Thanks, Adelaide <Will these work? Have attached thumbs of the two more commonly kept Callionymids and some LR pix. Pls make it known if you want larger, in other formats. BobF>>
Permission to use article - 4/15/08 Hi! I'm Italian, sorry for my bad English, I would like to ask the permission to publish a translated version, in Italian language, of your articles at http://www.wetwebmedia.com/FWSubWebIndex/mormyrids.htm in my free site (absolutely not commercial) http://www.vergari.com/AC.asp Of course indicating author and link of the site from which I have draw the articles. I hope that it's not a problem... Bye bye Anita Maccio' - Masone (GE) - Italywww.vergari.com/AC.asp <I do grant you permission for this use... And really like your homepage graphics re coloured fishes, bowls for goldfish, et al. Ciao, Bob Fenner> Photographs, use of WWM, RMF's part 4/13/08 First off Id like to say Im a huge fan of your work. Some friends and I are making a small educational site on fish we would like to have photos to go with some of our FAQs and some info on things we aren't knowledgeable about. Would it be ok to use some of your photos and info if we credit you properly. I see a lot of people using others pics and such but Id like permission to do so if possible it would be a huge help:) If not I understand btw this site is purely educational and will only be using acquired info or photos for that purpose, Thank you, Brendon <My work is available gratis for all non-commercial purposes, as detailed on WWM's posted Content Use Policy: http://wetwebmedia.com/WWMUsePolicyStmt.htm> The site will be thefishbowl.org when it is ready. <Ahh, thank you for your efforts. Bob Fenner>
Crayfish Photo 10/2/07 Hi, my name is Daniel, I'm 14 years old and I'm doing a 4-H project on Crayfish and was wondering if I could use a photo from one of the pages. I would give credit to you. Thanks for your time, *Daniel <What are you looking for Daniel? Much of what is posted on WWM is my own, but not all... I cannot grant permission to use others work. BobF> Educational materials 9/1/07 Hi Bob, <Peggy> I own a small reef specialty shop in Stillwater, Minnesota, called All-Reef. I just opened at this location on June 1st. <Congrats!> Since we opened we've had numerous (potential) customers inquiring about our doing some classes so they can "get their feet wet" before they "dive" into the reef hobby. Sorry for the bad puns. <Have used them all before m'self...> My question for you is whether or not there are any issues with my searching WWM for educational material to print and use in a couple classes so I don't have to reinvent the wheel. We are not charging for the classes, only a nominal fee for the materials to put an educational packet together for them so they have something for future reference. We will have about 10 students if everyone who has asked for classes actually shows up for them! <Don't think there are any issues here... as long as the authors of the individual pieces are credited, though WWM does not own any more rights than one time publication itself> I look forward to your response, and either way, I appreciate the good work you do and have done in the industry. I refer people to WWM all the time and tell them they can get good information there rather than get loads of bad and inaccurate information on forums (nothing against forums--just that there are too many of them and about 85% of the participants know very little but have lots to say!) <Heeee! I'd put the percentage higher> Again, I await your response, and I wish you a very good evening. One other thing while I'm at it, would it be ok if I put a link to WWM on my website? Peggy www.all-reef.com Your Source for Premium Quality Marine Livestock! <Certainly. Cheers, Bob Fenner> Re: Educational materials 9/1/07 Many thanks Bob. <Welcome Peg> I must say you have to be one of the nicest guys around! I sell lots of your Conscientious MA books in my store. <Ah! And thank goodness and such, we're re-doing this work... it's getting very old...> I recommend it to the beginners in particular because it's in plain English so it's understandable for them. My favorite book is the inverts book by you and Calfo. It's simply splendid. Thanks again for your good work and your kind heart, and I'll be sure to mention authors of whatever I use for the educational packets from WWM. Off I go. Enjoy your weekend, and many thanks again. Peggy www.all-reef.com Your Source for Premium Quality Marine Livestock! <Thank goodness for earnest entrepreneur citizens as yourself... You restoreth my faith~! BobF> Permission to quote Mr. Fenner? 5/10/07 Dear Crew, <Mike> I run a website that posts an inspirational quote at random daily. In response to a frustrated young man, (with whom I was sharing the same frustration) Mr. Fenner said the following: "Never let the feelings of confusion and frustration cloud the drive to focus and understand." I would like to use this on my website. Thank you for your time, dedication, and understanding! Mike Price. <A pleasure to share. You are welcome to post any/all statements. Bob Fenner> Plagiarism of your work - 3/28/07 Just to inform you of the plagiarism of your articles on a commercial site: http://www.reefescape.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=3904 <Mmm, this looks like an article by Steven Pro... we only buy non-exclusive use of such content... Will cc Steven here to make sure he is aware...> They are even hot-linking directly to your images. I only inform you of this due to this moderator of their site copying our works as well. Our lawyer contacted them this morning, and our content was removed from their site. Unfortunately, yours and many other authors work is still being claimed as theirs. Sincerely, AJW <Thank you for this notice. Plagiarism, taking other people's property w/o their express consent, is thievery... Something the government, IRS, needs to learn. Bob Fenner, WetWebMedia> Copyright owner 3/19/07 Dear Sir: <Takahiro-san> My name is Takahiro Nakazawa of Tohoku Pharmaceutical University in Japan. I am going to present new chemical constituents isolated in Minabea sp. in the 127th Annual Meeting of the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan. In this presentation, I want to show a photo of Minabea sp. appeared in the web site. Therefore, I would like to obtain the permission to use this photo. photograph: Genus Minabea <I do grant you free use of this photo. Please make it known if you need a larger scan, different format. Bob Fenner> Dear Sir: Thank you. So, please send to me the photo scanned at about 600 dpi by JPG file. <Will either of these do? Bob Fenner> Use of picture in Swedish aquarium? - 03/09/07 Hello Bob, <Martin> I work as the technical manager of the Science Center Universeum in Gothenburg, Sweden. We operate a non profit exhibition with the purpose to encourage young people to study natural and technical science by having educational exhibits in two technical departments, a South American rainforest, a Swedish landscape and five aquatic systems. On of the systems is a 1,4 million litre oceanic tank were we have Blacktip reef sharks, Nurse sharks, Sand tiger shark and an adult Zebra shark called Lina. Being this also attract a lot of tourist in the summer season and we are now producing a multimedia guide in English, French, German and Norwegian. In order to explain why the Zebra shark is spotted and not striped I would like to show a picture of a juvenile example and I found a picture on your website called StegostomaAQ2.jpg. <I see> What would it take to be allowed to use it in our guide? It will be shown four seconds in the format of a square five centimeters. We intend to hire the guide to tourists for some 6 USD to cover our production and maintenance costs. I will add a section called Underwater Photography were we show some facts about UV-photography and have pictures of the people who have contributed with pictures and information about their websites. Kind regards Martin <I do grant you free use of my work for your non-profit, educational purposes. Do you need/want a larger scan? In what format if so? Thank you for your efforts, Bob Fenner> Martin Skarhall, Teknisk Chef http://www.universeum.se Marine pictures 1/3/07 Dear Robert M. Fenner <Hans> I'm writing some articles about marine fishes in Danish to a website named www.saltvandssiden.dk <Very nice> I need some pictures, and I keep running into a lot of your beautiful pictures on the internet. Our website is a free service, and I would like to hear if its possible to use your pictures. I will of course give you all the credits by writing: ? Your name - and your website Best regards Hans Christian Witt Konge www.saltvandssiden.dk <Per my/our stated Content Use Policy: http://wetwebmedia.com/WWMUsePolicyStmt.htm as a non-profit/hobbyist BB you are welcome to free use of my content. Thank you for your efforts. Bob Fenner> Content question 12/29/06 I was wondering if I could use some of your articles on my website. Your articles will not be sold and subscriptions or anything like that will not be sold. Your articles will be free of charge to anyone that accesses the site. I will however have a paid classifieds sections of the site (in the future). This will not have anything to do with your articles or anything off of your website. Thanks, Rob <Mmm, no... You are welcome to link what I/we have... content posted in other places... ends up... in other places. My advice... generate your own. Bob Fenner> Pictures of Blue Regal Tang 11/30/06 Hello. I am doing a PowerPoint presentation for a project on Blue Regal Tangs and I was wondering if I could use your pictures in my project. Thank You! ~Kate Daniel~ <Ah, yes. As I see from the suffix on your email addr., you are "in education". Per our stated Content Use Policy (linked on the homepage, bottom right), you are welcome to gratis use my work. Bob Fenner> Pond articles 11/30/06 >I see some of your articles on Wet Web Media. I am interested in purchasing rights to use about 10 or 15 of them on a web site for ponds. >Is that possible and how much would it cost? It's a new site, haven't even launched it yet. >mike ><Is possible... the price in this quantity, two hundred U.S. dollars per. >Bob Fenner> Re: articles 11/30/06 Thanks for the response. Too rich for my blood. Michael <Do consider penning your own... A very useful experience. BobF> Request approval for publishing some articles 10/24/06 Hello Mr. Fenner: <Hola Alfonso!> I'm a very long time reader of your site, not much a poster because I continuously find an answer with the search tool, either within an article or the faq's. The reason for this e-mail is because I have been a part (for the last 6 months or so) of a Mexican site called All-Reefs.com www.all-reefs.com < http://www.all-reefs.com/> , it's a place for us in our country and lately in Latin America where we can search and give advice, as well as share our experiences, mistakes and success stories. Within the forum we have a project for an online magazine "Reef Place e-Magazine" www.reef-place.com < http://www.reef-place.com/> which will be issued on a bimonthly basis. And that's the reason I'm contacting you, I would like to ask your authorization to use one of your articles on every magazine, the idea is to have on each issue a chapter with one of your articles, we will be focusing on certain species depending on the overall subject of each issue, I will be doing the translation myself and will be giving, obviously, all the credits for the article and/or pictures as posted in WetWebMedia. I will also contact you prior to the e-magazine publication date to tell which article interests us on each occasion and if you like I can send you a copy of the translation for your approval. <I can only speak for my material (not that of other authors... you will need to contact them), but you are free to use my content on your site> Thanks in advance. Alfonso Garza Vasconcelos <Nos vemos and gracias por tus trabajos (I hope this roughly translates as thank you for your efforts), Bob Fenner, in Bangkok> Fishin' In The Palouse - 10/22/2006 Mr. Fenner, I am one of the founding members of an aquarium society in Pullman, WA. We would like permission to reprint the section of your book - on pages 14 and 15 of "the Conscientious Marine Aquarist" - the 317 word portion that specifically defines what a conscientious marine aquarist is. We would like to publish this section on our website, and potentially include it in our constitution and/or bylaws. Sincerely, -Jeff Williams <I do grant you this usage. Thank you for your efforts. Bob Fenner> <<Neat to hear of a new aquarium society in this area! Jeff, I've spent much time in Pullman, visiting my sister. I do miss the Palouse! -Sabrina, now in California.>> Stingrays, More Steve/Croc interest, no free pix 9/6/06 Robert, <Drew> I hope this email finds you in good health. <Good enough, thanks> We would like to use your photograph(s) of stingrays as an educational tool to show our Hilton Head Island readers what stingrays may be found of our S.C. shores. I saw your photos on Wet WebFotos.com and would like to use any of the stingray photos. If you could send a few at the largest size and best resolution would be ideal. The pass code does not work. Below is a simple freelance form that can be sent back to me for legal reasons, if we have your permission. <Mmm, no... my work is for sale to "for profit" ventures... which yours obviously is. Likely you can/will find others work for free elsewhere. Good hunting. BobF> Regards Drew Martin Visuals editor www.islandpacket.com A McClatchy Company newspaperRe: Stingrays 9/6/06 Robert, Thanks for your quick and timely response. Sincerely, Drew <Welcome. BobF> Photo Use 3/20/06 Hello! The Houston Zoo is preparing to design all new graphics for our aquarium building. I have been assigned to research photos needed for these panels and have found several of your photos on your website (www.wetwebfotos.com < http://www.wetwebfotos.com/> ) that might work well for this project. Could you please let me know your policy on licensing your photos for use by tax exempt, non-profit educational organizations? Right now we are particularly interested in the following images and would need them @ least 300 dpi @ 8x10. However, we may be adding to this list in the near future. <Mmm, my Use Policy posted here: http://wetwebmedia.com/WWMUsePolicyStmt.htm I do grant you use of my photographic work. Don't recall the resolution of what is stored on WWF, and am not back to their source/the mainland till 4/4... Am asking the "holders of the keys" to WWF here to grant you access. If you need more, different images, scans, please make this known. Thank you for your efforts. Bob Fenner> Translation of your articles (into Polish) 1/18/06 Dear Mr. Bob Fenner, <Darek> I would like to ask you for permission to translate your articles from into polish language and to publish them on www.aqua-info.com. Aqua-Info is non-commercial, non-profit online magazine for polish aquarists. Best regards Darek Firlej Aqua-Info editor <I do grant you such use. Thank you for your efforts. Bob Fenner> Permission request 1/18/06 Hi Bob - <Jeff> As always, I continue to be impressed with your site and the level of knowledge that you demonstrate. I admire how you have given so much to the hobby. I had done some thinking and I'd like to give back to the community where I have taken so much pleasure. <Good> As I'm a web developer by trade, my professional experience doesn't exactly translate in to the reef world. I thought that a good way to help the community is to facilitate some of the knowledge dissemination. It still looks like this little hobby of ours is still stuck in the dark ages in some respects. <Is, but coming forward> I wanted to make an encyclopedic site that users could look up a topic and get straight forward and thorough information. <Takes time...> I also like the site wikipedia.org. They're in the process of cataloging all of the world's knowledge. Nothing like a lofty goal, huh? <Mmm> The idea behind their site is to let anyone who has knowledge on a given subject add their two cents to the pile. In short; anyone can edit anything. The problem is, their information on reef systems is pretty rudimentary. Take a look at their protein skimmer page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_skimmer <I see. An interesting approach... hard to moderate> I've set up the same software that Wikipedia uses on my server. I've registered a domain name and I'm working on a look and feel for it. I have the pieces in place, but I need some knowledge to give it a kick start. Once people start using the site, I believe the knowledge will grow, but it needs a seed. Will you give me permission to use some articles and pictures from your site? <I would like to see some examples of this please> The site is named XXXX It will be non-profit. Any information taken from your site will be referenced. I might, in the future, ask for donations for server and bandwidth costs. I'm sure you know that enough traffic can cause those costs to grow quite a bit. <Yes. Reasonable thus far... it's the time that is "the killer"> Any money gathered in the name of the site will be put back to paying off costs. Like I said, it is a designated non-profit site (as evidenced by the .org) Thanks for your help, Jeff <Again, please send along a few examples of how you would do this once it is up. Cheers, Bob Fenner> Fish breeding and wetwebmedia content 1/11/06 First I'm starting my own website and wonder if I can link to you articles or if possible reformat you articles to go along with the look for my site? I don't have half the knowledge about marine wildlife as I'm sure you do and I'm trying to make a more centralized site to find info and reviews for new reefers as I found myself running around the internet for info rather then learning when I first started. I'd really like some informative content to provide. <... As far as I'm aware you're open to link whatever you'd like on the Net... but not copy...> Second I'm also interesting in captive breeding, being as 10 fish die for everyone in the LFS I thought it was an admirable challenge to take on. Fish I have considered would are Clowns, Pygmy Angels, Fridmani Pseudo's, Banggai Cardinals, and Longnose Hawk Fish. I'm wondering if there might be a medium size fish or a trigger. I could perhaps breed however I would need to know that its popular enough to find homes for. <... okay> I then wanted to donate some of the proceeds to some sort of marine conservation organization. Having marine fish is great but the part about where it all comes from bothers me and like I said would like to make an effort to not only enjoy breeding but make a positive impact on the trade. Thanks for any info you maybe able to provide Sincerely Brandon LaGrange <One... step... at... a... time. Bob Fenner> Fish photos - 12/11/2005 I am in the process of building a free Reef Inhabitants Web site and I am in dire need of good high quality photos I can use royalty free, I happen to notice your photos on a Google search and I wanted to see if I could get your permission to use them?

Please let me know how you would like the article referenced. Do you want your webpage listed and email address? Some people do and some don't. <Mmm, by the author, URL: Bob Fenner, WetWebMedia.com> I have attached our most recent newsletter FYI. This will give you an idea of how your article will be presented. <Thank you> Thank you again. Marleen <Cheers, BobF> Pictures on your website 7/29/05 Hello Bob, <Erwin> I have found your website http://www.wetwebmedia.com via Google.com. First of all, very, very nice pictures you have on your website and a lot! It is really great! <Thank you> I am currently creating a website about marine fish and -tanks called ' < http://reefsecrets.be/> reefsecrets' (e.g.: http://www.reefsecrets.be/). It is a non-profit website and organization with a forum and a marine animal database. Our audience is based in some smaller regions of Europe, mainly in Belgium and in The Netherlands. The main goal of our website/forum is providing information to owners of a marine tank to help them in their hobby. We are planning to be online around fall of this year. <Congratulations> I am already searching some time for good and useful pictures. I am not willing to copy or steal pictures without permission of the (real) owner(s) (-it is by the way a real shame people that are doing this-). <Immoral, and illegal> As we are a non-profit website that is just starting we are unable to pay for pictures. Now I found you, and I hope you can help me out! What do we want? Simply add pictures to our animal database and website. All pictures will have a reference (like: (c) by http://www.wetwebmedia.com ) that we will automatically add and we will use them on this site only. Of course, you will stay the owner. It would be great if you could help us! Of course I am willing to discuss this subject in more detail if needed. If you say "no", which I am sure you will not do! :-), no harm done. Thank you for your answer.

We have a nationally well known Hobby Club, i.e. "?AK" means Istanbul Aquarium Club. http://www.akvaryumkulubu.org/ In addition, we try to moderate the most active forum (in the scale of Turkey). http://www.akvaryumkulubu.org/phpbb2/index.php If you give permission, I want to translate the highly qualified articles on the http://www.wetwebmedia.com/FWSubWebIndex/fwsciindex.htm page (with your name under the article for sure :) ) Thank you.

Bob Fenner> Aquascaping article used Hi Bob, ...Just to let you know that Schuyler Sloane has posted your Aquascaping article on the website of the NE Philadelphia AS, at: http://www.phillyfishclub.com/ (articles) Regards, Howard Articles in the Public Domain - A Discussion Bob, <Scotter, Adam... this is a "opaque" area to me, the net as yet... the content belongs to the originators, not us... I suggest we refer people who would use their works to them. BobF> <Agreed 100%. This is how we finally replied to Anthony's Italian friends and what we have adopted as policy. Based on your (as usual) sage advice, it seemed folly to try to act as an agent on behalf of our authors. Most, if not all of them provide an e-mail address and can be contacted directly. That said, what about the content on WWM, especially for use by local aquarium clubs? IMO, allowing clubs to re-print material from WWM, but requiring them to boldly insert the URL is a great way to spread the word about the site. I am not necessarily trying to sell you on this idea, and I do understand that there are some logistical issues (especially paid CA content linked from other WWM pages), but it might be a nice service to offer.

Roberto Fenner> Using WWM Hi Bob, <Adam> My friend owns a small marine/tropical shop here in Cambridgeshire, UK, I am designing his website and have long since been an avid marine keeper and also fan and user of your website, we are wondering if you will mind if, from time to time, we use material from your website, with credit to yourself of course on ours, such small articles as those on the tang maybe featuring as "fish of the month" for example? Would you have any objections to this, as I said we will of course credit the writing of said article and include a link to your site. Regards, Adam <Actually, we do mind.

Hello Bob :-) <Hi there Robert> Dear all, First let me introduce myself. My name is Robert Baur I created and host the encyclopedia of reef fish and corals. Link: : www.meerwasser-lexikon.de <Very nice indeed> The main topic is to report the experience of hobbyists, who can add their personal observations. The goal is to create, update and maintain a knowledge pool about all fish, corals and invertebrates we keep in our tanks. The encyclopedia was already know in German and recently we also started the English version. The database consist of about 1200 fish, corals and invertebrates. Unfortunately we are lacking pictures of fish and corals which are uncommon in Europe. That's why I kindly ask you if we can use some of your pictures. Of course all pictures will show that the copyright is on your name. We would highly appreciate if you could support this non commercial project and contribute your pictures. Please note that my English is limited and these lines have been translated by a friend. Kind Regards from Germany an a merry Christmas :-) Robert Baur www.meerwasser-lexikon.de <Thank you.

Carnegiella marthae> I am the club's newsletter editor, as well. We are in full swing again putting the event together again and I have been tasked with designing and getting the t-shirts made. This year I am planning to go with a full-color design that includes fishes that represent each of our speaker's topics. I am hoping you can help me acquire some such photographs. I read the use disclaimer on your website, and am a little unsure whether this use would be permissible (as we will be selling the shirts, but we are a non-profit organization). Please let me know. <All non-commercial uses are permitted, indeed encouraged. You are welcome to use any of my content> As a little more detail of the types of fishes I am seeking, I need a couple of reef fishes, a couple of cichlids, a seahorse or seadragon, two North American natives, and maybe a Goodeid. While browsing your sites I saw some, but not all of these categories. Attached is a low resolution draft of my design I presented to the FINDIG committee for their approval (most of the pictures I used were pulled off of the web without permission). <Do please take a look on WetWebFotos.com re scans that are already "done"... I will cc JasonC here, who helps send along passwords for larger downloads. If there is something in particular you'd like to see that is not presently placed, please send along your requests and I'll try to get to ASAP (am out in HI presently and will be out to the tenth or so of Sept> I also requested that our speakers be solicited for photographs of their own, but I don't know what type of response I will get (at this point I am counting on none, and I'm running out of time quickly). Thanks for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon, Martha Volkoff <Thank you for your efforts.

I could not believe you had a site up and running. What a wonderful place to learn more about this hobby . . . I was truly excited to discover this which leads me to ask a few questions . . . But first, let me in- troduce myself! :-) My name is Eric V. Van Der Hope and am the Publisher and Editor of "The Reef & Saltwater Fish Keeping Cheat Sheet" - A Newsletter For The Serious Reef Keeping and Saltwater Fish Hobbyist. <Hee hee, love the name> My website is at the following address: http://www.saltwaterfishpets.com Since I'm trying to keep this letter short, I've also provided a URL for you to learn who I am . . . http://www.saltwaterfishpets.com/aboutus.htm The primary purpose of this letter is to ask permission from you to publish one of your articles on my website/newsletter.

I will make any needed modifications you request. I would like to take the time to express my appreciation for your response you've given up to this point.

Thank you in advance for everything. I look forward to hearing from you and learning more of this wonderful hobby through the constant reading of your work (books you've published) as well as your website. Sincerely, Your friend, Eric <My real advice is to encourage you to write, provide your own articles, image work... perhaps to sell this as well as retain the universal rights to same... a very good way (the best in my estimation) to learn, present uniform material, make a few dollars and promote yourself and site/s going forward. Bob Fenner> Borrowed text? While I realize that your writings are often quoted elsewhere, ( as I'm guilty of doing on some of the forums) I suspect that a business doing it, at least without giving the proper credit, would qualify as theft...Of course, you MAY have some arrangement with MDL, and them I'm sitting here with egg on my face...

I would like to use some of the pictures on your website which I am working on but the website is going to be www.xtremeleeaquatic.com. I am not done with it yet, so its not up yet. The pictures I want to use are going to be used for a background for my website. I am not going to use them for selling my live stock. <The fact that you will be selling anything at all via your web site means the images would be for commercial use.> I will take my own pictures when I have my own livestock to advertise on my website. I just need some pictures on your website for a background and it is going to be like a mask image or ghost image. If I have to pay that is fine I am just interested in your pictures I seen. <Excellent - the price for web use is $10 per image. Please send along a list of the images you would like and payment for same to Wet Web Media, 8586 Menkar Rd., San Diego, CA 92126 and we'll be happy to expedite your request.> My website is going to be for a store so I can advertise my livestock, but like I said livestock pictures are going to be my own from my store. I can send you a list of pictures I would like to use. Hope to hear from you soon. Lee <Cheers, J -- > Pictures Dear Mr. Fenner, <Hello.> I am a 22 year old budding entrepreneur. I have been a life long aquarist and have been running an aquarium installation and service business on a part time basis for the past 7 years while in high school and while attending university to help pay the bills. <Sounds familiar... this is what I did as well> I have now decided to peruse my life long passion as a full time business. I am in the process of putting together some pamphlets for marketing purposes. You hands down have a magnificent collection of photos. I have read your image use agreement with respect to commercial businesses using your images and was wondering if you would be able to make an exception and allow me to use your images. I am seeking some high resolution pictures which would be able to be used for print material. Please advise. Thank you. <Mmm, no can or will do my friend. Our pricing for such use is in a word, "cheap". A part of doing business... like rent or gasoline. Might well be a/the time to add photography to your skill repertoire. Good luck, life. Bob Fenner> - Images Wanted - Hi Robert, Thank you for the prompt reply. I am in need of some high quality photographs. Can you please provide me with your "cheap" prices/fees for obtaining your high resolution images for print material. <For web use, we charge $10 per image. Depending on the use, the rate may change so you need to specify just exactly what and where you intend to use these images. As for specific images, please browse our companion site, http://www.wetwebfotos.com where you will be able to browse roughly 80% of our catalog. If you find some images you like, let us know the ID number of the image and we'll be happy to make arrangements to get the images to you. If there is something that you can't find, please let us know roughly what you're looking for and we can check the other 20% of our catalog to see if we can suit your needs.> Look forward to hearing from you. <Cheers, J -- > Commercial print pix charge I want to use the images for print material. I am creating a color pamphlet for distribution. <The price for this is $20 per image. Cheers, J -- > You've been misquoted! Hello guys... specifically Bob. Are you in any way affiliated with marine depot live? <The owner, Ken Wong, his girlfriend/fianc?Amy and others there (esp. Alvin) are friends, associates in the trade> The reason I ask is that several of their fish descriptions are copied literally word for word from the pages of your website. Many of the photographs are the same as well. Of particular concern to me is the fact that they have misquoted your description of the powder blue tang. Below is your description of the fish, and in caps is the part they chose to include on their site: ACANTHURUS LEUCOSTERNON (BENNETT 1833), THE POWDER BLUE TANG; besides being notorious carriers of parasitic diseases, most specimens don't even make it through the capture and shipping stages. But'?some of you are screaming, "this isn't a difficult fish! a'?I'VE KNOWN PEOPLE TO KEEP THE POWDER BLUE FOR YEARS! THOSE HEALTHY FEW THAT ARE WELL RECEIVED AND CARED FOR - WITH LOTS OF LIVE ROCK AND ALGAE IN LARGE, WELL-ESTABLISHED REEFS - DO occasionally LIVE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. Needless to say, the omission of the first section, along with their cleverly leaving out the word "occasionally," completely changes the meaning of your words. You would think if they were going to lie about the ease of caring for this fish, they could at least write it themselves and not take your words and mess them up. Also, you are not cited anywhere on the site that I could see, so I guess they are guilty of plagiarism as well (is that spelled right?) In conclusion... sue the pants off these guys.

Exactly, I need: One picture of a fish with the stripes ordered in Horizontal configuration ( as pomacanthus imperator). One picture of a fish with the stripes ordered in vertical configuration (as a young pomacanthus semicirculatus, or maybe you know one better) One picture of a fish with the stripes ordered in two set of parallel stripes (as Genicanthus melanospilus, or another better, if you know) Can I have your permission to put them in my manuscript???. <Yes, Si, Seguro, for sure.

I am working in Kyushu University (Japan) as a lecturer (Staff Researcher of Core Research Institute). Now, we have an poster exhibition to introduce the study about the marine biology to the children. This exhibition is planed by the juvenile's culture hall of Fukuoka city <Our sister city in San Diego, California!> and the museum of Kyushu university, and this will be held at the juvenile's culture hall during the next summer vacation (Aug.14-Sep. 9). Theme of this exhibition is "The life in the river and the sea". Total 30 posters will be showed. I am in charge of one section entitled "sex change in fish". This section consists of four posters. Now, I would like to introduce the several hermaphrodite species in one of these posters. To introduce the fish to the children, the pictures of fish are desirable. <Yes, essential> Therefore I am looking for the pictures of the hermaphrodite species. Now, I should be pleased if you would permit my using a picture on a web (WetWebFotos.com). This picture is "Basses -Serraninae, Hypoplectrus nigricans (BAH)" <ID: 2169 in WetWebFotos.com>.

A. vaigensis photo Dear colleague, As member of the "Unione Zoologica Italiana" I am involved in the preparation of an article on the fish fauna of the Italian Seas. In this article I think to insert the pictures of some fish species. Because Abudefduf vaigensis was found in two localities of Italian coastline I think that this species may be a good example of lessepsian fish. I noted the good photo of the species that is available in the Fishbase archive. So I very appreciate if it could be possible use your photo also in my article.

I am writing the species profile of Thalassoma quinquevittatum and was wondering if you would permit us to post your picture on the site? At the moment the only picture we have of this wrasse is copyright restricted and can only be viewed from a University of Michigan computer. It would be wonderful to have an unrestricted picture that other people accessing this site could see.

I have lost several outgoing as well as incoming emails to the great void in cyberspace......sometimes I despise computers :). <They are only tools> You have always answered everything I have ever sent, so I am figuring you either never received it, I never received your reply or you didn't reply for any # of reasons. <We answer all> So I am sending it again........in hopes that you never got it and not that you either didn't respond to discourage me from continuing to write to you with my incessant questions or that you responded and I never received it. <I will never abandon you> Hi Bob, Leslie Leddo here. You recently helped me quite a bit with a reoccurring Amyloodinium problem and some Jawfish questions.

I frequently refer to your very informative site for my own information as well as when the info required to answer a post does not live within the boundaries of my gray matter or it is inaccessible at the time needed......LOL....ya know the memory thing. I was wondering how you feel about using links to your site or quotes from your site, in replies to questions asked by our members, on our Bulletin Board? <These are fine... if useful> If this is something that is acceptable to you is there a particular way you would like us to reference the information used? <Acceptable> As long as I am asking would you be amenable to allowing us to reprint some of your articles in our library, with of course reference to you and your site. <Mmm, these should only be linked to what is placed on our site.

I thought we were "just" talking being able to download the few kilobyte size images> This is not current practice - a user's normal password (the one she's already got) just authenticates them to their settings, forum, etc. I thought I already replied to Constance, along these same lines - ?

ANYBODY can access the previews, and easily save them to local disk, like any other image on the WWW. <Sounds like you're on it> OT - Jason - Bob said to Constance that you and I will "likely be diving in St. Thomas" what the hell is he talking about?

someone will be interested. Could we use some of the fish and eel photos you
have on your web site for reference on our show? They will be on the screen for
about 2 seconds. We will acknowledge you in the credits. Thank you for your
time, Dale Anderson www.cathaven.com <Yes, you are welcome to our contents use.
Good luck, life in your endeavors. Bob Fenner, WetWebMedia.com > |
