PC Magazine and others have picked up Nokia’s “Top photographers spearhead Nokia Nseries See New Competition” press release.
The gist: You can submit up to five cellcam pics that you’ve taken using a megapixel+ camera phone to the contest. Judges include five widely known photographers who will help pick the best snaps of the lot.
Get picked, and you can win a Nokia N90 or other cool handset, time on a photo shoot with one of the pros, and have your pic featured in various media including future Nokia handset wallpaper the world over.
Yes, this is all obviously a blatant marketing maneuver to sell more Nseries phones, but who cares if you win, right? I’m going to enter some photos right now. (I guess there’s another perk from my job change last fall…)
On a recent troll through Google for all things “J2ME Archive”, I came across some blatant thievery of my site.
Why not just link to my “J2ME Archive“, blogger_guy, instead of ripping most of the interesting bits while making sure not to include the copyright statement and other clearly identifying portions of my page? I smell a crook.
I’ve emailed India Times’ blog support group to ask that they remove the copyrighted bits as follows:
To whom it may concern:
I found this page in Google:
http://o3.indiatimes.com/j2me
It clearly copies my copyrighted “J2ME Archive” page: http://billday.com/j2me
No one ask or was given permission to copy my material and post it on your O3 blog site.
Please remove this page immediately and instead link to the original, copyrighted “J2ME Archive” at: http://billday.com/j2me
Thank you,

I don’t believe anyone at India Times overseeing their blogs knew about this infringement, but I do hope to see them rectify the situation immediately. The lesson here is: Cheat, and Google’s gonna find you!
