Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uebfgpEdsBU
And then a photo which I took on a gig in Sotkamo, Finland:
It’s funny how some people still think that everything that can be downloaded from internet can also be re-used for their own purposes. The photo has been protected with Creative Commons license, which (in this case) means that the photo can be copied, distributed and transmitted, BUT only with the permission of the author.
I love giving my works forward for non-commercial projects for free. It’s always good if they spread around – and not rotten on my Flickr account – and people make the most out of them. But I definitely want to know when that happens. And I want to see clear links to my website and see the works used in a proper manner.
Well, of course this isn’t anything like Rebecca’s case, but it still sure pisses me off.
The guy got very confused and angry, but removed the video. End of story.
