murali_ks - 16 Jul 2006 10:20 GMT
I have received a link to yahoo photo album containing several albums.  Each
album has many pictures.  I would like to copy all these albums into my own
yahoo album.  

Does any one know how to copy each  album  ( not the pictures individually)
to my hard drive or to another yahoo account .

Thanks

This is a very peculier first post to usenet, certainly not on topic. Why
would anybody here want to help you infringe copyright?

I am not infringing copyright.  I received a link to access the photos.  Why
should not I save  the pictures in my hard disk.  I would not have received
the link if it is a secret matter.  I could have saved them by copying
individually.  I only asked for shot cut procedure.

Where is the infringment of copyright.  Those whio want to reply my post,
would do so because it is a general matter regarding yahoo photos.  Why
should you take decision on behalf of others questiong their right or
decision to help me.  It shouldnt bother you.  If you do not want to help,
just say so.

Yes, that is infringement of copyright (at least, under U.S. law) unless you
have been given permission to copy.  Receiving a link invites you to *look,*
not to copy -- and especially not co copy entire albums.  According to the
U.S. Copyright Office, copyright is automatically obtained as soon as a work
is created, and publication of a copyright notice is not required.  Of
course, it's true that not much attention is paid unless a person tries to
use those items for personal gain (including using them in your own web
page).  Many people confuse copyright with registration, which does confer
extra protection.

This is a family album of our family.  I have already taken permission to
copy.  I am not violating any rights.

Sorry, in that case you are correct.  There have been so many instances of
people taking copyrighted material for their own use that I thought this
might be the same situation.  Many people assume that everything on the
Internet is somehow "up for grabs," and I did not realize from your message
that this is a family album.  I should have asked,.

But unless the OP is a cat, why would he/she post questions
to rpca about copying a "family" album?  ;-)

It's possible.  For example, my sister and I exchange *many* photos of both
our two-legged and four-legged family members.  However, we do it by e-mail.

Looking with a browser involves making copies of the pages and their
images, therefore, permission to copy is implicit in posting.
However, there is a difference in how the stuff is copied and for what
purpose.  Some sites block automated copying in a ROBOTS.TXT file, and
most owners either state or assume that the material will not actually
be used by someone else except under the fair use doctrine or with
permission.  The sites I manage range from 'don't care' to password
protected.

No, permission to copy is *not* implicit in posting.  However, the OP in
this case just posted a message that he was taling about a family album
where he has been given permission.

I just wonder who the OP is? Are you a lurker? Come out and introduce yourself.

Actually, Ted has a point. Every time you "go" to a website, what you
are really doing is receiving a copy of that website on your computer
(via your browser). So as soon as you can see a website, you have already
copied it.

Perhaps the issue has to do with *saving* the copy?

I very frequently save cute kitty images that people post here, and I
like to view them on my desktop. I don't know that this usage counts as
"personal gain", unless you're including emotional/spiritual gain. :)

Perhaps my doing this would anger some people, so I'm saying it here
in the hope that if anyone doesn't want me to do this, ever (or without
getting explicit permission each time), they'll say so now. I've always
gotten the sense that people are flattered at best, neutral at worst.

It's funny the assumptions we make. I was assuming that Murali was a
woman. Of course, I have no idea whether I'm right, since I'm not
familiar with that name. And there was no logic to my assumption, as
I did it unconciously.

You are very ignorant. You didn't take the photos therefore they are not
yours to copy. Your post has nothing to do with cats. Top posting is poor
netiquate.

The usual tool for this is WGET for Windows and Linux.  It can grab
part of a site, and if you forget to use the --no-parent switch, the
entire site.  It's a command line utility that usually comes with
Linux, and can be downloaded from
<http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm> for Windows.
