Using Someone Else's Content
Registered users retain their copyright for content that they post to the site. If you want to use someone else's content for any purpose (commercial, educational, personal, etc.) you must ask the owner of the content (i.e. the article's author) for permission. Worldisround cannot grant such permissions and we will not give out the e-mail addresses of authors who have made their e-mail addresses private.

To contact the author of an article, click on their name in the by-line and look for their e-mail address on their user homepage. If they have not given an e-mail address, you might be able to contact them by leaving a comment on one of their articles or by sending your message to so that we can forward your request to them.

Copyright Infringement
Only upload photographs and post content that you have the copyright for.

If someone else has posted your copyrighted material to Worldisround and they have made their e-mail address public, please contact them directly and ask them to take the content down. If their e-mail address is private or they do not promptly respond to your request then e-mail us at and we will forward the request to them. If they do not respond to us either we will remove the content in question and follow DMCA procedures for handling copyright disputes.

Model Releases
When publishing an identifiable photo of a person the photographer needs the permission of that person. A model release is a legal document which grants this permission. From time to time photos may be posted to Worldisround and the subjects of those photos can request that they may be removed. In the absence of a model release we judge these disputes on a case-by-case basis.
