Today 1st August 2008 the Microsoft Corporation sent the following statement to Pro-Imaging. Microsoft Corporation Statement We are grateful to Pro-Imaging for raising its concerns about the use of photographers' works on the Iconic Britain website. Although this was only a short marketing programme, it’s always very important to Microsoft that we respect the intellectual property rights of others. We apologise that we have not lived up to our ordinarily high standards. We have since taken steps to obtain the rights to use every image to be featured in the subsequent stages of the Iconic Britain competition. We also welcome the invitation by Pro-Imaging to discuss with them best practices when using photographs in similar competitions. Microsoft Corporation Pro-Imaging Response To Microsoft StatementPro-Imaging would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation of the above statement issued by Microsoft. We have copied it to all our members who will, along with photographers worldwide, welcome Microsoft's aim to adopt best practices in similar photograph competitions.
