Copyright

Airframe shows photographs taken by the people who post them. If one of them is yours and shouldn't be here, this page is how to get it taken down, and it doesn't take a lawyer.

The short way

Every photo has a Report link on it, with Not their photo as one of the reasons. That reaches Jack directly and is usually the fastest thing. You don't need an account to write in either.

Most of these are a mistake rather than a theft, and get sorted out the same day. The formal route below exists for when you'd rather use it, and nothing on this page stops you using the short way first.

The formal way

The formal contact for copyright notices isn't published yet. Until it is, use the Report link on the photo or the contact form, both of which reach Jack and both of which get acted on.

For it to be acted on as a formal notice, it needs to include:

Your signature, typed is fine, as the owner of the work or somebody allowed to act for them.
Which work you mean. A link to your original, or a clear description.
Which photo here you're pointing at. The link to its page is ideal, because there may be more than one photo of the same aircraft.
How to reach you: address, phone, email.
A statement that you believe in good faith that this use isn't authorised by you, your agent, or the law.
A statement that the information is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you're the owner or allowed to act for them.

Those six are what the law asks for. A notice missing them still gets read by a person, it just isn't a formal notice.

What happens then

The photo comes down promptly, usually the same day.
Whoever posted it is told what happened and why, and given a copy of the notice.
They can send a counter-notice if they believe it was theirs to post.

If you think your photo was taken down wrongly

It happens, usually because two people photographed the same aircraft from the same fence. Send a counter-notice, which needs:

Your signature, typed is fine.
Which photo it was and where it used to be.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification.
Your name, address and phone number, and that you accept the court for where you live.

The person who complained is then told. If they don't go to court within about a fortnight, the photo goes back up.

People who keep doing it

An account that repeatedly posts other people's work is closed. Not warned indefinitely. Posting somebody else's photograph is the one thing on this site that takes something from a real person, and doing it more than once is a decision rather than a mistake.

A word about honesty

Claiming a photo is yours when it isn't, in either direction, is lying under oath and there are real penalties for it. Don't send a notice about a photo you don't own to get it taken down.
