Azores online media and copyright issues...

Given the problems with the ferry Atlântida, much attention has been given by the online Azores media to this vessel and its sea trials. This morning, to keep me up to date to the latest news, I browsed for some news on the internet and found several websites using photos taken from this blog without any reference to their origin or authorization from the author.

The used photo was originally posted by thepilotboat  here  and can be found on the following websites:

This is an unacceptable practice. We have no problem with the use of our photos as long as you ask us kindly or insert a reference to their origin!

 

Atlântida, more pictures!

After some alterations to the original project she is finally ready to go to the sea for the first time. Tomorrow she will sail for sea trials.
