Armenia: More Copyright Violations
A comment left on a recent Unzipped post leads to a poster likening President Serge Sargsyan and the ruling Republican Party to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Again, the image was used without permission and is a violation of national and international copyright law.
The situation is terrible in Armenia for respect for the work of photographers with various news agencies, political parties and NGOs violating mine on a regular basis. The last three culprits were Hetq Online, the Ter-Petrossian-linked Zhamanak newspaper (here and here), and one local NGO, Future is Open (see here).
