MNLF Website Plagiarized Our Photo!


The MNLF website has plagiarized our photo of Egyptian Ambassador Sayed El-Masry ref.: posted May 20, 2006 on Zamboanga Journal at http://zamboangajournal.com entitled: "MNLF Urges Manila To Comply With Peace Agreement, Seeks Release Of Jailed Leader Nur Misuari."

The photo captioned: "Egyptian Ambassador Sayed El-Masry, head of the OIC mission and adviser to the OIC Secretary General, says the Philippine government has not fully complied with the 1996 peace agreement it signed with the Moro National Liberation Front," appeared on the front page of the MNLF website http://mnlf.net without our permission.

We demanded the MNLF based in Cotabato City to remove the photo from the MNLF website or write and ask Zamboanga Journal for permission to use the image and with the appropriate credit for the author and Zamboanga Journal.

All our photos are copyrighted by its author/s and Zamboanga Journal and cannot be republished, or use for whatever purposes or in any form without permission from Zamboanga Journal.
