Roberto,
The fact is that it doesn't matter if your are a hobbist/amateur or a
professional, the creation what ever it may be, has bee created by an
individual called "the author", his/her creation it is his intelectual
property.
If the author has not given his/her consent to a third party for it
use, either by means of Publication, Display, Printing. Nobody has the
right to use, deface or alter it, partially or in it totality without
paying or asking for permision from the author, to use it for their own
purpose.
It is also very cleraly estates in the WWpano that the images are
copyrighted and I quote:
"All images will be copyright by the individual photographers. Use in
any way other than viewing on this web site is prohibited unless
permission is obtained from the relevant photographer. The overall site
is copyright by the Regents of the University of California."
There is no discrimination if you are a professional or hobbist/amateur
you , the people that submited a panorama is the AUTHOR and sole owner
of his work.
kind regards,
