The school really should have known better and this example shows the problem with orphan works being reused repeatedly by other infringers.
One of my agencies is now connecting all sold images with blockchain technology to prove infringements.
To the person who suggested we should watermark everything thats just not possible. Much of my work is stolen from places like Mailonline by simply right click save. Mailonline wouldn't buy my work with watermarks on it and I shouldn't have to, would you argue that any property that doesn't have a smart water marking on it is open to being stolen by burglars and thieves just because it would make it easier to sell on? So why should I do the same with my images.
Unfortunately social media channels like Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr and Pinterest make it all to easy to steal and repost work whilst making it difficult for copyright holders to point out infringement. Try reporting an infringement to Instagram and see just how many clicks are needed you can't even report it on a mobile platform it has to be done on a computer browser that enables copy and paste of full web urls.
As for an international database one of my agencies registers every piece of work I upload to the US copyright and patents society but this still doesn't stop work being stolen...

It speeds up editing, the original does have some issues mainly around the quality of the buttons which are very clunky, the new version has replaced these. You soon get used to the dial layout however it doesn't completely remove mouse and keyboard use.
They do seem quick to release bug fixes as of yet I haven't tried the latest software release.

Personally I think the best way forward for Ricoh now would be to do more lens collaborations with Tamron (and maybe others) to get the glass out that people want and also concentrate on getting AF up to speed because despite what others may say it's hurting Pentax sales badly especially when virtually every review you read mentions it as a problem.
This is what is crippling Pentax, I would love to get a Pentax FF the build and ergonomics are excellent but I'm not shooting landscapes so it's just not an option for me at this time.

Meant to say I've got an mx for parts, so if you need anything just let me know
Think I've got a complete base plate and battery cover
Emphasis on think.
Will check when I've got a second
