Hi everyone,

Perhaps some of you already know the soaring simulator Condor. With around
1000 members Condor is becoming a really nice community. Every evening many
people fly against eachother in several different servers with challenging
tasks from 100 to sometimes 300km. These tasks are not only a lot of fun,
but they are also very educational since many pro's are helping and giving
tips to others.
On Thursday and Sunday evening there is a Lowlands Cup competition, which is
set up by several volunteers. Around 300 to 400 pilots are competing against
eachother in a friendly and educational way. Click the following link to
view the Lowlands Cup website: http://lowlands.sytes.net/

Let's get straight to the point now... Well known glider photographer
Claus-Dieter Zink has taken measures against the Lowlands Cup team because
the team had used a photograph originally taken by Mr. Zink for in their
banner on the Lowlands Cup website. The team did ask permission to use this
image, but never received a reply. Without even a warning or a request to
have the image removed, Mr. Zink immediately took legal action against the
Lowlands Cup team.
Well, I think this is the part where I should ask you to read the topic on
the Condor website at this link:

On behalf of the whole Condor community I would like to ask you to please
read the topic at the Condor forum and give your support. Also, after I read
that topic, I'll think twice before I will buy a calendar of Mr. Zink
again....

Regards,
Peter Millenaar,
Condor community.
