Oooops. I didn't know that, my bad. I thought that as long as they were used to advertise the AGA & AGA contest, and their name and details were listed on the page, that it was okay. I can have them change it if you think it matters. I'm sure it wouldn't be a problems for them to burn in the name like we did.
This is the exact language in the release form we send and gets signed by every entrant:
'In all cases of publication of images submitted to the AGA International Aquascaping Contest, the notice "©2009 [name of copyright owner]" will be given.'
So the times is not required to do a burn-in (especially since they have such tiny images). But they are theoretically supposed to have that copyright notice somewhere.
What they're doing is VERY CLOSE, probably close enough, as *we* don't even say "(C) 2009" on our own publications... but we do list the photographer, which may not be the case with the LA Times Gallery. I didn't bother to check if any of the 20 or so photos had different photographers than entrants.
