The clubhouse and other sites
Clubhouse, "alien" visitors, leftovers, sociability, copyrights, other sites, respect, values, acceptance rules and conditions and ................................................. Volunteers, moderators, BDL, wild birds, VWG Gemert and .... Oh yes the falcons!
First something about volunteers, VBN, Securicon, VWG Gemert and the many hours they devote to BDL. BDL for its many volunteers from January to July backstage entirely disinterested almost daily for several hours trying to accompany the images and processes to allow for you. Why do they do this? At least not for financial gain because of BDL costs money, lots of money. VBN will especially show how beautiful and fragile nature is, attention to birds and their habitats. BDL is a beautiful and good medium to bring the protection work to the attention of a wide audience. But also as a regular visitor to the CH, researchers, summarization, cliptippers, donors make an important and valuable contribution to the success of BDL 2015.
Securicon and VWG Gemert provide the technology they are here all year working on it, what could be better, how we realize that, what materials, what does it cost, radiation, safety, consultation Alticom protection peregrines, when we go up the tower, solve 24/7 interference, radio 538, 600 man-hours per year, etc ... .. To give you an idea what the costs and benefits for the Vogelwerkgroep to realize the peregrine cams and the images I mention here still some amount. 2014/2015: € 4,000.00 Grants, donations € 435.00. Expenditure € 9,680.00. It costs so money, lots of money, but we do like to let you enjoy these images.
The Clubhouse, "alien" visitors, leftovers, sociability, copyrights, other sites, respect, values, acceptance rules and conditions.
Yes why this list of facts? In recent years and this season we get many emails and phone calls from visitors BDL that they do not feel welcome in the clubhouse and will stay away. We see that the CH is dominated by a small group of regular visitors with their own "knowledge". Other incidental visitors experienced that in their ignorance and "defective" knowledge are ignored or are not welcome. This can of course never be the intention for the CH is for everyone! "Stupid questions" do not exist, "knowledge" would indeed have to share with everyone! We also see that the CH by the "permanent" visitors, just as in previous years, often used as a conduit to other peregrine / nature sites or other non peregrine related issues. Requests from our side to respect the forum terms and somewhat ignored after life.
Copyright and why do we so difficult?
We'll even turn the tables, create a website, you are investing € 10,000.00 in equipment and some 10-thousand euros to get images and streaming online on your website. Then you see your images almost instantly "free" to be published on other websites and youtube. Your own clip-maker does not even have the time to publish this through official channels. In fact this morning we saw that our live images were published on another site and it is in the clubhouse almost a true advertising campaign conducted for other sites. There are recent weeks even through BDL CH asked for donations for these other sites. You feel happy and would you accept it? We do not, copyright is violated and we find it disrespectful to all the volunteers and you, the viewer of BDL.
Unfortunately this morning we decided therefore the refresh images can be temporarily disengaged until the transfer of our live / refresh images on other channels would stop.
Needless we want to emphasize that our action had nothing to do with the message of Maaike in CH, Maaike placed in her ignorance and innocence a link to the relevant website which we found our pictures were shown.
Apologies to Maaike that here misunderstanding has arisen.
(Pretty sad someone is using this site for their own personal gain)
