Re: EXIF and IPTC MEta data in images

Not everyone is concerned about commercial values; some of us are more concerned about intellectual property rights.

On the commercial front, in the unlikely event of anyone trying to make a windfall by stealing one of my pictures then, yes, I would want to get them and the money ...

More likely, though, is that someone would (and does) use one of my pictures without acknowledgment - and also steal the text - I have no problems about people freely using any of my material (in the wider sense) but do take issue if they use it on a commercial site or if they don't say where they borrowed it.

To this end, retaining the exif data on WAB could be useful. I thought that it did. Anyone have views on how/why it's retained on some uploads but not others?

None of your images are of commercial quality. The resolution is not big enough and most of the subject matter is available free of charge elsewhere on the web.

Visions of grandeur - There you go, I have said what everyone else is thinking.
