[...] the poster sends one in, you should know that image attribution is important. All images should be properly attributed and have been credited. Remember, the image is published on your blog: you don’t want stolen images [...]

Thank you for the post. Sourcing imagery can be a time consuming process – finding the right image can make or break a design. Once you have found the best image its only right to seek permission to use the image – this is essential.

Hi Ann
Nice post, pointing out a very common misconception amongst the online community. I know many of my city daily photo community have started watermarking all their images, some discretely and some very obviously.
When I started my photoblog I certainly did not realise how many images were taken, often with no credit/link.
If people ask, I would most likely be agreeable to them using my photos.

“as long as you link back to the author” not really, you just have to mention/credit the autohor no link is required although a link back is a nice way to do it.
“atribution” concept was before the internet era

As someone who has had his photos stolen several times from flickr for use on minor and major blogs alike, IK truly think the public needs to be better educated on copyright, fair use, and Creative Commons.

Despite marking my photos as Creative Common Attribution Share-Alike, I have found my photos on other sites and even marked up with others’ watermarks. I truly wish people would be more respectful of Creative Commons.

Unfortunately, I may need to move to “whole-image watermarking” in the near future to prevent such ignorant theft by flickr browsers. It’s a shame.

Good post Ann.

Btw, I swear I did not read this before I wrote my post on Monday on Smackdown.

There is something else to mind when using an “Attribution-ShareAlike License”.
When you license your work using “Attribution-ShareAlike License”, people who use your work, making any modifications on it; they MUST link back to the author (in this case you) and SHARE THEIR WORK with the same license (as you did) .
Thank you for publishing the benefits of the creative commons licenses. I started using them last year on an academic project named Open CourseWare and now I am a big fan!
