good or bad cliparts!!!
|
hello , there; Yesterday I had one worksheet reported because it contained some images which were copyrighted; I had paid particular attention in the choice of my cliparts, that is , not to heavy and not watermarked , and there I discover that there are also images you can find on "google images" but that you still can � t use because they have been used somewhere , by someone already. So how can we know we �re choosing good images?What �s more I know I have to stay under the 500KO deadline , but yet when I download some of your worksheets I discover afterwards that they are 1000 ko or even far more. How have you managed to do that?

In fact that �s a trick question. Your worksheet contains a picture used by an ESL site preparing the same kind of wss as yours (routines), and over this coincidence (it may be one) it was reported. Maybe if you had used it in a complete different task it wouldn �t have been reported, who knows...
I personally asked once the owner of the site (mes.english) because I found some of his pictures shared by other site and he answered that not all the pictures are his and he only reports pictures he himself has drawn.
If he didn �t draw all the pictures, I would never report / remove a worksheet without contacting him first (my POV), so I didn �t vote yours. If the worksheet contained more than one of the pictures he used in a different type of work I wouldn �t report either. I would only report your ws if it contained more than one picture used to prepare the same kind of work, because for me it could be barely considered a coincidence.
If I were you I �d contact the owner of the site (mes-english) to know about the picture (man making the bed). If it doesn �t have a copyright I �d ask Victor to restore the ws. If it has, I �d replace it and reupload.
The rules concerning the pictures: You can �t publish any document including pictures or contents taken from iclipart.com, since it �s against their terms of use. Worksheets containing watermarked cliparts are not allowed and will be removed from now on. Please, don �t use pictures taken from other ESL websites or books, even if you add your own exercises.

Thanks Zailda for all this information, but I must agree with Spied-d-aignel it �s becoming so difficult to know which cliparts or images we can use and which we can �t. We do all try to be careful, but sometimes we need images of specific movements or actions and if we find them without a watermark, we jump at them. It would take hours to check all the other WSs on other esl sites to find out if anyone else has used them! So it still remains a difficult situation. Thanks for all your hard work Zailda. Janet |
