Maybe some day, Flickr will actually start to care about CC a bit and log licence changes from CC licences to other licence. Current workflow allows photographers to revoke these CC licences after a while and this effectively prevents many people from using CC pictures because nobody wants to be sent to trial because he's used CC pictures with correct attributions that have mutated to All Rights Reserved suddenly. This sucks. (ramblings of an old fotopedian)

Hit the Flickr URL with Archive.org, which should capture both the image, date+time, and the CC license present at time of archive. The Wayback Machhine has been used in court before, so precedent does exist. javascript:void(open('//web.archive.org/save/'+encodeURI(document.location)))

  When building www.everydaydreamholiday.com we cached and screenshot all the external images used (never build a scale solution because we never, um, scaled). Interestingly, we let the photographers know as well, for a variety of reasons including the possibility they had set CC unintentionally. Most were grateful - we woke up one morning to an irate barrage from one photographer who had uploaded his image to Wikipedia without appreciating what that meant. We just changed the photo we used, and sent him a link to the Public Domain Photo on Wikipedia and a dozen other sites he might want to contact who were also using it. He apologised immediately, which was neat. Given the amazing images available under CC (even for commercial use), it frustrates me when websites try to steal protected images and get away with it. If I can find a CC Commercial Use image of marshmallows toasting over lava in Guatemala [1], you can find a fully legal image of a sunset.
