To the Members of the WWP

Dear Members of the World Wide Panorama Project,
we sincerely regret that our ?Globorama? project has led to irritations and -in part- to very impetuous reactions within the community. We, who were working on this project, acted on the assumption that we were authorized to use these works based on §52 of the German copyright law, which permits the non-commercial use of works without the expressed prior consent of the artist.
Due to the objections the ZKM has received, the use of the images has been stopped immediately. Out of respect for you as artists we have since then not shown and will not show any of your images without your explicit permission.
At this time, we are processing all the inquiries we have received and we will make every effort to find a feasible solution for all parties involved. We are currently preparing replies to all the artists, who have contacted us so far.
We are happy about the constructive suggestions of Mr. Yuval Levy to find a sustainable solution, which hopefully serves all interests. It also has been suggested to initiate a joint project. We are currently investigating some ideas and will put them up for discussion in the near future. Because of the complexity of the issue it will take some more time. We hope that this makes the situation at this point more transparent for you and apologize for any delays.
Sincerely,
Bernd Lintermann
