So recently I had one of my YouTube videos taken down because I used a copyrighted picture by Alex Wild. Now I didn't know his pictures were copyrighted (now I do lol) and having a copyright strike stops me from accessing some of YouTube's features. So I tried to reach out to Alex to see if we could come to an agreement about this issue, but he didn't reply. I contacted him through email and Facebook. Anyone know of another way?

 

Hopefully I'll be able to solve this problem soon.

Email usually works, however he has been pretty busy lately. Just keep trying as he is usually pretty responsive.

It's the end of the semester, and he's a professor, so no doubt he's been busy grading, etc. I'm sure he'll be open to talking with you about this.

BTW, “original works of authorship” are automatically copyrighted.

Interesting article from a while back regarding Alex Wild's copyright issues, if you weren't aware of how it all went down. I believe he had a few posts on myrmecos.net as well.

Thanks everyone for the help, I guess I'll wait a week or so and resend the email!

 

I didn't know he also teaches for a living, I guess that explains why he's such a busy guy .

He teaches and is curator of the university's insect collection. His photography has slowed way down since he took the job a year ago.
