Quote from the original article: "[...]And the license is a generous gift from the photographer to you." As an amateur photographer with almost 4000 CC-licensed images on Flickr, this pisses me off to no end. My images are under the non-commercial attribution-required variant of the Creative Commons license, which means that simply downloading a copy of one of them to include in your business presentation or website is a flagrant violation of the license terms. My "gift-giving" is directed towards the general betterment of society, not lazy web designers or bloggers who don't think other people's work is worth anything.
