Kodak Retires Kodachrome Film

[Steve Smith]

Even if it is technically a copyright violation, I doubt if it was one they would complain about. There is certainly no loss to Kodak or any defamation involved.

Lets get back to mourning the loss of Kodachrome. I have not used it much but it does seem sad to see it go.

It would be nice if a resurrection campaign would bring it back as happened with Velvia 50 but I'm not very confident of that.

Oh bollocks

Oh bollocks

That's certainly one way of putting it!

My post is not the official Kodak Press Release, but it is a news story that properly cites the source as a news organization would.

Correct. If you do not have written permission to cite in whole or part, this would be in infringement. I don't want to take the time of going thru how as I'm just not in the right timeframe for it, but we really should remember, it's not whole or part when it comes to our images, why should it be so for other media? In any event, please do a bit more homework and you will see how it does indeed infringe.

That' blows me away. I won't write anymore as I guess I don't want to take away from the thread, but the hypocrisy of photographers knows no bounds.

Press releases exist for the purpose of quotation. Most corporate PR departments would be delighted if their press releases were published verbatim in their entirety. It is absurd to consider quotation of a press release a copyright violation.

Your posting is a celebration of the life of a memorable product. Thank you.

Don't care about color slide film as it's incredibly unlikely to be printed in an analog way these days anyway. I am more upset about the death of polaroid because it renders my favourite camera useless. You still have lots of options out there for food for your camera even if it isn't the filet mignon you've been used to.

Have you tried FP-100 Fujifilm?

Correct is right, not only do I have written permission to cite it from Kodak, but I have disclosed further support of this to David Goldfarb in confidence that you are simply not privy too, this will put it all to rest.

I applaud you for being a watchdog for copyright infringement, but I can assure you that in this particular case, you are really wasting your time and creating an unnecessary distraction from the topic.
