Actually our main problem is here.
Quite a lot of people do not understand what "original" means or what 
"author" means. I think we should rephrase this as "I am the 
photographer", "I scan the image from a book", "I copied the image from 
...", etc.

There is no point to go further if the first question is not properly 
understood.
