About duplicates

In the profession of electronic photo and video archiving, those who work in this field know that a photo or a video contains more information than what they initially are showing. So, how do you document? 

• Example:

  A photo or video shows a destroyed residential building where a little girl has been pulled out from the rubble The documentation goes like this:

  We would add the photo or video to 'erasure of habitality' in 'crimes of extermination' as 'erasure of habitability' as a method of extermination.. Then, we would add the photo or video to 'residential buildings' under 'domicide' because the Israelis don't want people returning to their homes.

  But, there was a little girl pulled out from the rubble. The documentation would then be like this:

  We would add the photo or video also to 'war crimes' as killing of children is killing of civilians, which is a war crime. But, she was in the building at the time of the Israeli attack.

  The next step would be answering the question 'Are there similar photos or videos archived?'. If the answer is 'yes' then we're dealing with 'killings > methods' > 'killing people in buildings'.

  It can be more confusing when there are many photos and or videos about children killed by Israelis no matter where in Gaza. They then send the message that killing of children is systematically. The photo or video would then also be archived under 'genocide > children and/or women' (= gender genocide)

  So, itis possible that a photo or video can be found on many places of our website.

We are NOT the owners of any photo and video. All rights belong to those in Gaza but who took the photos and or made the videos. Still, we have seen that these rights have been hijacked if not pirated in particular by online photo sellers. 

Video news reports often contain footage that has its origin on social media. Still, the footage has been claimed as part of the copyright of the whole video. However, claims about having obtained the rights from the creator or creators are in most cases impossible to verify, especially when the creator is killed or when the publisher refuses to provide the identity of the creator..
