I TOOK THE PICTURES - they are mine and mine alone - No copyright infringement - Willi Gutmann




This is quite the bizarre process !

The Shiawassee River Heritage Water Trails exists for all to see, touch, and feel . It is not a made up thing . The trail was created with the sweat, blood, and hard work of 100's of people, endorsed by the DNR, DEQ, of Michigan.

The pictures came off of my camera - a Waterproof Pentax Optio Wpi -

This is PUBLIC information.

Newspaper articles have been written about it.

What is it going to take to get this information out to the public ?

I created the content - if a sentence came from another website I wrote, authored, etc. so be it - they are my words, my ideas, my thoughts

There will be no deletion of my work

It was my picture - I signed up as WaterWarlock on Waymarking - it was my GPS data that was submitted - Willi Gutmann

Good news

According to discussion at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions#Waymarking.com claims copyright of image at Commons, it seems to me as though you are free to give your pictures to both Groundspeak (waymarking.com) and Wikimedia (though, again, I am not a lawyer, etc.).
