Thank you.

Site update….

Having initially had the idea in August last year, and trying to complete the site and fit it in with RealLife™ has been a slow process but with the advent of 2 other projects that approaches copyright abuses with the same ethos, we thought it was the right time to go live and make the effort to complete the project as it was first set out.

The changes:

As Pro-Imaging deals specifically with Competions we feel it is better not to include that arena here as Pro-Imaging is an established community and it may only confuse the situation by repeating the same information.

Now Copyright Action exists thanks to EPUK and that deals with the overall situation regarding the copyright abuse that goes on, it now gives OP©P the opportunity to concentrate on its initial concept, individual photographers, we tried to cover all areas at first as there was nothing doing the same thing at the time of conception but not any more, and hopefully between us we can help open peoples eyes to how rife copyright abuse is and how people and organisations take advantage of photographers and their work.

It seems it’s now time for photographers themselves to take the bull by the horns and not waste time waiting for the powers that be to do anything about it.
