Canon EOS Digital workflow Guide

rlindabury · Aug 15, 2003

Where's the violation? The copyright is retained. It's still copyright Canon USA. It's not being sold, it's free. It didn't come with any license agreement or non-distribution agreement. It came with nothing saying it couldn't be freely distributed.

Besides, it's a marketing piece for Canon Digital Cameras. If anything, the more people that get to see it, the more people that will be inclined to purchase a Canon DSLR system.

The ONLY downside I can see for Canon is that they aren't collecting the names and addresses of the people who download it.

That's not to say there isn't some other reason for not distributing it. If there is, Canon should make that available WITH the CD somewhere. On it, in it, somewhere.

The only thing the CD does disclaim is "Not for sale. Promotional use only." Putting it on a FTP site for download or copying for people for free is not selling it.

It doesn't even say "All rights reserved".

I believe distribution in this case would come under the rules of "fair use" as described in:

So how about burning some copies, and mailing them out?

It always suprises me to see photographers who would inflamed if
someone were to copy their work more than willing to violate the
copyright of others.

Once inserted, it starts itself, the page fills the screen, no way to exit, nothing else happens. I had to use Task Manager to turn it off.

Mine hangs in certain places. I suspected (and confirmed) read errors caused by a defective CD. Oh well...

If some of our Canadian frtiends will admit that they were responsible for a night of peace and quiet in New York I'd burn a copy which one of them can pass out up there. I've looked at my copy and as a lawyer would not be too upset about anyone threatening copyright violations. Canon is a big target for one of the photographers on the CD so they worry. I'm guessing that Canon US got a limited copyright release for the US because thats where the idea got started and thats all they asked for.

I know this subject has been on numerous threads before concerning
digital workflow. I just got in the mail today a CD from Canon that
is titled "EOS Digital workflow Guide". It supposedly contains 11
top digital photographers, over 50 video clips on workflow
insights, step-by-step workflow explanations, EOS Digital image
galleries, photographer profiles and a workflow glossary. I don't
ever remember requesting such a disk, Canon just sent it to me.

Got mine today as well. Needless to say, the CD was cracked in seven places. The only thing holding it together was the label.

Optical · Aug 19, 2003

Hi oreixa,

Does the Cd realy contain 650 MB?

If it's much less it could be usefull only to zip the content instead of making an image file.

Thanks anyway.

Why is the american market the focus market for Canon? I feel like they don'T care about the rest of the world..

DigialPowerShot · Aug 19, 2003

...the target market

I just looked through it. Its free, so I won't moan about it.
Some may find it interesting, but I doubt I would stick it in my CD
player again.

Thank you rlindabury! I got it

The CD interface's little complex but I think it's worth.

I've had a lot of people connecting to my ftp dropping the rate
down considerably so it's probably best I just put it on a T1 or
faster site and post that for everyone.

Let me know.

rlindabury said:

You can access it at:

ftp://ftp.ravenimaging.com/

Please realize this is a 629meg ZIP file. I've tested it and it
works fine for Windows systems. I don't know about Macs.

Windows users unpack the zip to your hard drive, go into the
CanonDigitalWorkflow directory and click on the only .exe file
you'll see in the directory.

There's a readme and there's also a Mac "Start Here" icon but I
don't know if that will work.

Please, PLEASE, somebody download this and send it to another
mirror site as this is running from my home on a Cable connection.
Upload speed from here is limited to 1megabit max. Having a ton of
people all trying to download at once will not be helpful for
anyone.

If you do download it and send it to another mirror, please post it
here so that others will have an alternative site to download it
from

Enjoy!

Hi;

Seems to me the file has been withdrawn, obviously, but does anyone else host it on a different machine?

Cheers,
Jakub

Unfortunately my cable speed today is rotten. Looks like it's only
getting 16KBps! That's horrible. If somebody has a place that
will take a 629meg file, I'll just upload it there and save
everyone the grief.

If you were one of the people that I got a hold of, just to let you know, I sent out your discs. (they sent me 5, so im two short, ill burn two extra copies) Check you mail on Fri (except for the one in Austrailia expect a longer wait

rlindabury · Aug 26, 2003

Yep, I took the file down. I had it up for about a week and my throughput sucked so I removed it. I would think that somebody would have gotten it by now and put it up on a fast site.

I think it has more to do with the way each regional division/company is run. Canon Europe seems to run things differently with their HQ in the Netherlands and individual trading companies in each of the respective European nations. Good idea in terms of language/marketing considerations but this doesn't give Canon as much flexibility in terms of Europe-wide promos. Canon U.S.A. has a much bigger (single) 'market' since they handle operations for the entire US, making it much easier for them to administrate promotions, rebates and other marketing ventures.

The real head of the scepter is Canon, Inc. in Tokyo (listed on NASDAQ, I believe).

Saying that, however, Canon Europe does give us the 'Image Gateway' gallery service for free with the purchase of a camera (I think Japan and Western Europe are the only regions who have the service) and I'd rather have 100MB free space to host my pictures than a somewhat boring CD-ROM.

Also, you can find pretty much all of the advice on the CD by reading these forums and I think these forums do a lot better at making you want to go out and buy their gear than that CD does. (I've seen the CD... had it sent to me from a friend in the states.)
