How about having a section for pictures from the magazine. As some of the pictures look good but are a bit small sometimes. For example the pics showing the Honda cam chain tensioner are hard to make out.

| yeah I agree with that - mentioned it after the festival of 1000 bikes report - the small thumbnails looked good/arty in the magazine, but would be nice to have access to the full size image on the web... and another thing - its irritating when a particular point of interest is mentioned on the bike, but theres no picture of it..

Wholeheartedly support this idea, if fact the large shot that makes up the 'Big picture' feature on pages 4-5 of this months issue is a great case in point.
I'd happily pay for a quality softcopy of this image to get printed for my wall. Stunning composition and what a subject, the Bostrum brothers in the woods with an old beat-up pickup enjoying their old bikes and chilling out.

Love the mag this months as ever... pics are great. Awsome Idea to have them on the net but I'm thinking copyright might be an issue? unless you disabled the right click option on them. but you can still use print screen and paste.

Why should copywrite be a problem. By the fact that they're publsihed in the mag they're in the public domain. Also when photographers sell their pics to publishers and are paid for them, they relinquish any rights to the pics.

Ashley - the copyright stays with the originator, in other words the photographer who took them or for that matter the writer who wrote the words.
While published pics/words can be viewed by the public in a mag or on a website or whatever, the person who supplied them has been paid for that use and that use only. If a publisher pays more, it can take the rights to the images or the words but only by agreement with the writer/photographer. CB has the right to use images in the mag because that's what it pays the provider for. Using the images on the Internet can be agreed but requires an additional settlement.
While we're on the subject - if Joe Public sees something in a mag or on a website and copies it, that's copyright infringement.
You may think this is being pedantic but it's not. My job is as a journalist and I've had various people re-use my stuff at times. That's theft. I write stuff for a living and when someone nicks that without paying me and/or my employer for it, they're getting my work for free. I've had to take legal action on at least three occasions through my employers in the past and on one occasion, it resulted in someone being sacked for posting my stuff on another company's website. I didn't feel guilty about the person being sacked then and I don't know - quite the opposite in fact.
Ignorance of the law is no defence under law.
Lecture over!

No sweat - you can't imagine how annoying it is when I see my work copied by someone else who then tries to make money for themselves from it. There isn't any difference between this and, say, a Chinese manufacturer looking at a product made by a western company, copying it because it's in the public eye, and then selling it in competition with the original.
I know BMW's on the case at the moment with a Chinese company that copied one of its car designs. In my field (construction) Chinese firms have a bad reputation for copying American or European designs.

It's true, they all do it. I tried explaining international copyright to them, and they couldn't get their heads round the concept! they just decide they're doing something, and that's that, bugger whoever thought of it in the first place.
Off for some stir fry now........

| Going by experience from living in South Korea for a few years, in general it's a case of the rules/laws are for everyone else, not that particular person. If a sign says no smoking while getting fuel, an individual feels that it's meant for others to follow and not them specifically. That's just how it came across to me.

The Chinese Government says it's aware of the problem and intends to do something about it. The way I read that is that when big Chinese companies start seeing their products being copied by smaller local firms, the big companies will complain to the authorities and China will introduce copyright laws like we have in Europe and the US.
