Re:Globorama: How big is the problem

Hi List,
After reading 3 days of posts from you I want to highlight some facts.
First I think we should remember that the WWP panorama project if formed by
mainly two kinds of members.
Hobbie panographers and professional ones, meaning by professionals the
people that actually make a living from this art work.
It's obvious that the most concerned and the friends leading the group on
this topic are the members who make a living from VR photography.
Many of our hobbie members are not posting, maybe do not care a lot and a
simple apology by these Globorama people would be enough from them.
That will make it difficult to form a single unity.
I am on the professionals list and a simple apology, excuse or kind letter
will NOT be enough now for me.
They used copyright material, without permission, used on a project with
lots of money investment and in public spaces.
I will ask for a GOOD money compensation.
Do you agree on making a list of people who want to ask for compensation ?
Or all of us will be on the same boat ?
I have read people only asking for reputation, others that like to share
their work for free and others members who just do not care posting.
Also the position of the WWP organizers should be know.
Just want to know where are we going.
Since is quite difficult to point out which panoramas and from which authors
were projected, a fixed amount for each member should be the fair request to
negotiate.
Am I wrong ?
Please let me know ...
Best regards from Mexico City.
