flickr setting question

    I currently have all my photos in flickr set to Public.
    I now want people to contact me before downloading my images , i.e. take ownership of my own files.

    What and how is the best way to control this within flickr, still want people to view all my images , but don’t want any images taken without my persission.

    Thanks,
    Barry.

    My post has been moved ?

    Anyway , just to re-iterate , my photos on flickr state , “all rights reserved” , and I have disabled downloading of my images .
    Is this sufficient coverage on my rights ?

    i would imagine so… the only thing is that one of your images could still be taken for a website… but not for print.

    I guess you’ve provided a relativly clear warning that you retain ownership of the images but you haven’t stopped people from downloading your shots and using them without permission.

    I now want people to contact me before downloading my images , i.e. take ownership of my own files.

    I think the best way to do this is to create a group with yourself as admin, restrict uploads to yourself and restrict viewing to members of the group. That way you have a list of people who can access your shots and can remove people from the list at any time. It’s actually not that much work to manage once you get it set up, the only thing is that people will have to ask your permission before even seeing the shots.
