How Every Flickr Photo Ended Up on Sale This Weekend

July 8, 2008 | |

What most remain unaware of is that Flickr fosters copyright infringement through their API...This latest incident is by far the most egregious, as the use of photographs from Flickr were being sold with out the consent of a single photographer, all while photo licensing terms were programmatically ignored.

I've always wondered why my photos are able to be RSS'ed out to other sites for them to display even though my settings clearly say ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Going forward, nothing is going up on Flickr that isn't watermarked.
