After closely looking at pictures from different games and comparing them from untfootball.net and rjy.com I do not believe they used Rick Yeatts phots.

The angles in the photos are slightly different. Looks like the untfootball.net photographer may have been near Yeatts at times, but I don't beleive the images are the same.

Key examples at the Navy, look closely at the fly by. The backgrounds are different and the jets are at different angles. Also compare Todd Dodge standing in front of the Helmet. He is looking in different directions.

I'm not out to piss anyone off, Just wanted to point this out because it seemed the other threads were closed to soon for anyone to say anything.

I think some of the pictures are moorelands and some are from rjy. I dont think they were lifted though. He probably had permision to use them.

Photographers of the world must unite for the sake of the mean green nation.

You would be surprised. I've had actual newspapers steal my photos before.

I've sent an email to Rick, if he gave permission, I'll unlock the threads.

I know 100% some of them are. I just want to make sure they are used with permission. I've contacted Rick.

i think most of the onfield action photos are but, not the pics of fans etc.

One comment which has nothing to do with the possible infringement of the use of another's photos but only regarding who is in the photograph. I believe that the person scoring the touchdown against Navy and giving the V for Victory sign is Brandon Jackson (49), not Sam Dibrell (19).

Couldn't the pictures be used as long as the owner/photographer was given credit?

Dibrell got the penalty

Yes they could. I have no indication (yet) that they were.

I've given permission for my photos be used for banners, flyers, etc... but if one of my photos is used without permission the infringer is getting a bill.

I just spoke with Rick and his photos were used without permission.

He is going to ask the webmaster to pull his photos.

Please remember that images are copyrighted as soon as they are taken and shouldn't be used without permission.

Such a weird concept that photos of the general public are somehow "owned" by the photographer.... It seems wrong that someone can take photos of the public without their permission or paying them and then claim financial and other rights to them...

That's why wedding photographers should be free!

I'm just glad that we as a message board can claim responsbility for the other non-profit website losing some if not a majority of the pictures they were offering for the enjoyment of Mean Green fans. We definitely don't want too many ways for fans to have access to North Texas media. Let's try and keep it to the 2 or 3 websites that are obviously approved by this board.

I am in the media/entertainment business and its a pretty complicated situation how all this works. Unless you are in the business it just gives you tired head to figure all that stuff out.

Of course photos taken are the property of the photographer. To use them without permission is just as wrong as using a source in your research paper without citation. You are taking credit for another's work.

So give credit where credit is due and just move on...

It seems ashame to me to not let them use them if Rick is given credit as the actual photographer... maybe even a link to his website on the untfootball.net site. Seems like free advertising for Rick and offers improved images for what is a pretty nice site. -- This should be a win-win.

But then who am I to say anything. <_<

Here is a blanket statement, any of my aerial oblique photos and any others photos I may post can be used by any of the members of this board without my notice as long as it is not for profit or commercial use. Otherwise just ask.

Enjoy yourselves.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Random Thoughts: I remember that on a long bus ride back from Monroe Louisiana you wanted Dickey fired. I agree that Dickey did more with less than any Coach we have had in this Millennium. The 4 Bowl Games in New Orleans, especially the win over Cincinnati, are still among my favorite memories as a fan. If Dickey had dumped Ramon Flanigan very early and replaced him with a competent OC he would have been more successful. I was told that Dodge wanted to keep Defensive Coaches from Dickey's Staff and RV nixed that idea. I have never asked RV if that is true. However, if Dodge had kept the entire Defensive Staff from the Dickey years, I believe he would have been successful.

      Why is the big white kid not playing?

      Kind of my point. I want him to succeed but he's just not made much progress if any at all. Why him but not these other kids? There's no way they can't match his production, he's scored zero points this season.

      Agree. Basketball and has been the better product at UNT for many years now. All eyes/support should be on basketball until Mosley figures out how to field a respectable football program.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      AS I SAID THESE LAST 3 GAMES HAVE SETH LITTREAL WRITTEN ALL OVER THEM....6 WINS AND A ASS WHOOPIN IN A 2nd TIER BOWL. AND THOSE THAT BITCHED ABOUT PARKING....DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT FOR ECU. THIS FOOTBALL TEAM IS SCREWED WITH MORRIS AS HFC AND WITH MOSELY AS AD. Just typical NT BS. I don't see how we keep Cobb... There is bound to be a special place in heaven for long term NT football fans. Y'all bitch about DD all you want but his teams usually played to the top of their conference level.

      Two things that standout in the stat lines to me. Time Of Possession: sa had the ball nearly 20 minutes longer than we did. And, 3rd Down Conversion: sa converted 10 of 18 3rd downs. We only converted 2 of 11. Thats devastating to an already struggling defense, time and effort wise. Then you compound wasting that effort by pissing away the easy points afforded you by gambling on 4th downs inside the 30. Maybe our FG kicker has the shanks or something? But to me changing D coordinators isn’t going to fix all of our problems because right now we have no idea how to manage a 60 minute football game, which is Classic Air Raid. Rick
