Not all photo hosting services are equal.
May. 16th, 2007 07:53 pmflickr = censorship
A very talented photographer found out her work had been taken, without her consent, and resold for thousands and thousands of dollars by Only Dreemin . The artist blogged about it on Flickr, and got many comments filled with advice on how to proceed to get the royalties she so rightly deserved. What did Flickr do? They blocked the picture, deleted the blog entry, and for all intents and purposes protected the thieves. This is censorship. Flickrs behavior made me angry. To the point I sent them an email ( explaining the errors of their ways. )
