This is easier to deal with than dealing with you at the moment. 3 days in a row with migraines is enough sorry. :) Karoli,

I respectfully disagree on your solution to the problem and I'm truly at a loss to understand the reluctance to credit an artist for their work. Put in a different context, do you support splogs? I think they suck, because your content that YOU created is taken for purposes you did not authorize, with no attribution or credit back to you. Is the answer to stop blogging, to make your blog private? Wouldn't that be throwing the baby with the bathwater? I have seen Flickr members' best photos stolen and reposted by other users as their own. That's the abuse I'm talking about and it happens far too often. I don't view this use of Trey's photo as evil or intentional, but I do see it as a problem in a larger context. As bloggers with a higher profile than most and a large readership, it would be nice to see an example set of attributing work to the person who created it. Finally, if you look at the properties for this photo, you'll discover that it isn't immediately simple to discover the owner of the photo. HART,

A link is generated in my blog of its source and displays the picture. I rarely download pictures using the "All Sizes" option, even though it's available to me, although for the life of me I have no idea why some allow downloading and not blogging. If you don't want me to download your pictures, this is what you should do: Log into your Flickr account / You / Your Account / Photo Settings / Allow Downloading ... and turn it off. And if you want to allow people to use your photos and give you proper attribution, then also while you are in Your Account.. "Allow Blogging" - and turn it on. People will be able to "Blog This" and not "Download All Sizes". I know it won't stop everybody. If you (anybody) is more concerned or scared or worry to death about this happening and being "victimize from far less ethical bloggers" out there ... there are options: (1) take them offline and do not share .. (2) put a watermark on them that links back to you .. or (3) just reduce the quality so you are in control of the 'good version' Don't get me wrong, I am 100% for the attribution and giving proper credit where credit is due - but, I do not believe that just because you have a CC licence on your website or next to something that it's the end all legal savior for you in every situation. And, as well - Wikipedia is not the most efficient or reliable legal resource out there either. It's just my 2 cents .. i.m.h.o. .. I don't want to start any ruckus or anything. It is intended for more of a FYI. PS: if the "abuser" does not rename the filename of the picture, it usually can be traced back to the source anyway because it shows the Flickr ID in it, I believe.

Of course, we want credit for those images, though. Not payment, just credit. Just like blogging, it's about attention. It's not difficult to drop a small credit below the photo. As an example, you'd be free to use any of my images on your blog with attribution under my Creative Commons license. That's all I want. Now in the case of Trey, he's currently in the middle of a gallery showing of many of his works of art. I won't speak for him, but I'll venture a guess that he'd love to have his image included in your blog with a credit back to him as photographer. It seems like a small enough gesture, but extremely meaningful to those of us who have been victimized by far less ethical bloggers than you.

Normally I don't include copyrighted photos, and I rarely provide links back to the photo sources unless requested. Copyright, and permissions is an issue I tend to leave to lawyers and such and I generally will avoid controversy if I feel its not worth getting controversial. According to law permission is not always needed, but it can be needed. But normally by that time its easier to remove the photos. Defining Fair Use: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use Karoli,
