I'm culpable on this one too... I should have checked with you.  But She
called me in the afternoon, and needed photos by the next day.  (She had
tried to get photos from the ADA contest, was having culture barrier
problems there, and I thought it was WAY better for us if she used pix from
OUR contest.<g>  I sent her to Cheryl.

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 "C2009 [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.
