The article takes a very long time to raise that the photographs in the collection had Creative Commons licenses.
Perhaps the specific use they're being put to isn't covered by the particular CC licence of each one, but until that is someone's claim I don't see this is quite the issue it's portrayed as.
- nmstoker 8y agoI see there were a couple of complaints I'd missed further down, but it's still sounding like it's being talked up into more than it is.
- stefan_ 8y agoIf it's a full on frontal photo, in a number of countries, it is not for the photographer to decide what the license of that image is and any such attribution as CC might very well be invalid.
- lotu 8y agoYes, and when uploading you are required to confirm you have the rights to do so with that photo. If we aren't going to be able to trust these type of self declarations we pretty much can't have websites where users upload photos anymore.
