Comments on: Creative commons, photography, and Jim Webb. http://waldo.jaquith.org/blog/2006/09/photo-sharing/ Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:37:41 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Spank That Donkey http://waldo.jaquith.org/blog/2006/09/photo-sharing/#comment-10180 Spank That Donkey Sat, 23 Sep 2006 03:35:51 +0000 http://waldo.jaquith.org/blog/2006/09/photo-sharing/#comment-10180 Waldo: I applaud your sharing and attribution angle to work published on the web. I would be the first to tell you if I found someone submitting your photos to Istock for sale, without your benefiting from your own work. In my mind, that is the copyright violation, profiting from the work of others without any compensation. I would be hard pressed to feel sorry for say CoCa Cola if I used their image on my site for satire, or just posting it... I just gave them free advertising. Satire of course has already been settle by the US Supreme Court as laid out pretty well by BVBL posts concerning the use of images used for satire. You will notice I modified my comments on the A-Team today. http://allens-a-team.com/2006/09/22/jim-webbs-dark-ride-the-final-cut/#comments Waldo:

It was only yesterday that I got an e-mail from them acknowledging receipt of my complaint. Good eye — I hadn’t noticed that.

They finally pulled your "Webb" photo and replaced with a different one. I think it took them long enough. Just saw the NY Times website with the story you linked too.

You were so kind as to allow me their use.....I hope I didn't owe you anything. It is amazing how a good idea (or picture) will spread widely if it is made available.

It took about 2 minutes to use flickr's organizr to change the all-rights-reserved copyright on all my photos to CC Share-Alike. Now apparently I need to take shots of a) cute dogs in the snow or b) Jim Webb looking serious. Hey Waldo,

I expect that this person grabbed the headshot of Webb without realizing that it wasn't the campaign's photo, and so permission would be required. That's the simplest explanation, anyhow.
