Requesting for review

Dear JJMC89, a website owner has given me permission to use their images and has send the permission to OTRS. Ticket number has been received. If you have time, could you please review that ? I would really appreciate it. Please reply.--Let There Be Sunshine (talk) 09:57, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Let There Be Sunshine. Do you have the ticket number? Without it (or sufficient information to find it), I cannot help. — JJMC89 20:14, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
Yes, it is 2018111610002628. Thank you so much.--Let There Be Sunshine (talk) 07:02, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
@Let There Be Sunshine: Having reviewed a sample of the images on the website in question, I doubt that the website holds the copyright to any of them. Therefore, they cannot give permission. Many of the images are available on other websites, which attribute them to others such as the AP or professional photographers. — JJMC89 18:08, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
I just received an explanation from them. He keeps saying they have full copyright for the photographs of events. If it is available on other websites, I suppose they might have bought the copyright from freelance photographers. What should be done here ?--Let There Be Sunshine (talk) 13:21, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay. He might have the rights to use the photographs, but I doubt he owns the copyright. As such, I won't be accepting the permission. If you want another agent to take a look, I suggest posting at COM:OTRSN. — JJMC89 05:52, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
