COPYRIGHT NOTICE UPDATED 06.27.2023

The James Roney Collection >ALERT: We've been hacked!! Someone gained access to our picture files and started deleting our beautiful library, especially Mr. Roney's Smith Mountain Lake pictures. Had he not discovered it when he did while in the ER waiting room, he might have lost the entire website and years of work. Because of the extreme restrictions on the PIXEL for the upload process, it takes a solid day to restore several dozen images, and he has hundreds that need to be put back up, with another three thousand or so beautiful pictures that Mr. Roney took of Virginia some 20 years ago.

All of us found the timing of this hack highly specious in light of a recent development commercial use rights, of which some 85% of the photos that were still here before the hack were all taken by Mr, Roney. It will take him a while to assess the full extent of the hack. We do know he lost a lot of his Smith Mountain Lake photos; of course he has backup. Your patience is requested as were working on getting them back up quickly as possible, as this is a very slow process.

>Note: Mr. Roney's wife continues to be in severe chronic pain making it nearly impossible for her to stand up, sit, walk, think or talk. This is why Mr. Roney has not been able to keep his promise to put up lots of new images here in recent weeks, as doctors, specialist, and hospitalization over the last few days, along with two hour long drives every 48 hours for medical treatment with a promising specialist, has taken up nearly all Mr. Roney's time. So a family has stepped in to update the status of whats going on with the self appointed digital police who continue to propagate lies about Mr. Roney (possibly others) who is starting to ale himself from old age, to making outright bold face lies about UnSplash's Commercial Use permission clearly stated in the UnSplash License Policy copied and pasted below. We wrote to UnSplash about the Commercial Use permission, they confirmed the Commercial Use permission was still valid.

Thank you all for your time and continued prayers, as things are not looking good.

LEGAL NOTICE:
All Smith Mountain Lake Images on this site were taken by James Roney. All other photos not taken by James Roney were obtained through a U.S. 'paid' Copyright license through StoryBlocks; all remaining photos were obtained legally through UnSplash, a public domain photo sharing user driven service that are normally uploaded by the author or Copyright Holder. Unsplash policy states, "Unsplash grants you an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide copyright license to download, copy, modify, distribute, perform, and use photos from Unsplash for free, including for COMMERCIAL purposes, without permission from or attributing the photographer or Unsplash". Legally defined, "COMMERCIAL USE IS ANY REPRODUCTION OR PURPOSE THAT IS MARKETED, PROMOTED, OR 'SOLD' AND INCORPORATES A FINANCIAL TRANSACTION". Under section 18, USCS § 31, the term "used/use for commercial purposes" means the carriage of persons or property for any fare, fee, rate, charge or other consideration, or directly or indirectly in connection with any business, or OTHER UNDERTAKING intended for profit". Third person policy does not negate this.

*HOWEVER, Public Domain Digital Photo Sharing Website Services are user driven, and there for may upload something that they were not suppose to. In compliance with 17 U.S.C. §512 and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). It is our policy to respond to any infringement notices and take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copy right Act ("DMCA") and other applicable intellectual property laws. Whenever we learn a photo in our store has been taken down from the Public Digital Photo Domain Sharing Source we obtained it from, we feel it's best to take ours down as well.

With that said, WE DO NOT knowingly or intentionally sell images that might have been wrongfully placed in a user driven photo sharing service without the permission of the author or ©Copyright holder. We never sell the image file itself. Sorry. The images here are used COMMERCIALLY as products which falls under the legal COMMERCIAL USE definition. Note: Anytime we find a photo that has been removed from a public domain sharing website source where we obtained the photo, we automatically remove it from here as well. Sorry. However, Pixel's server often continues to show the image, even though we have taken the image down or even replaced it with another image. Reporting this bug to support has not resolved the issue.

We do not steal photos to sell here. 'Stealing is taking something with out permission'. Anyone who says otherwise are lying and may be held libel. If you find a photo of yours that we 'legally' obtained, or using it in a way you object to, or simply would like credit, please let us know right away, and we will remove the image in question if that's what you want. Be sure to attach a copy of your Copyright License with your take down request. There are workarounds if you don't have one. Understand we can't have pranksters and extremest makeing false claims just to see how many photos they can get us to take down. So you will need to provide some kind of proof of your claim, and proof of who you are. Simply email us to learn more.

Note: The legal status of every photo is entrusted to the services we pay an Unrestricted Copyright Use Fee which is StoryBlocks, and sites that host public domain images that the author of the photograph uploads themselves for the public domain to use Free of any charges or restrictions. Sometimes credit is requested by the photographer, and that's why you see that in the description with some of our photos.

Note: We do not use Google images as picture source to sell. Anyone who says we intentionally steal photos to sell here are flat-out lying, and 'WILL' be held liable for slander and damages, and all attorney and court fees.
