Andy Piper: Chasing the Daily Mail for Flickr attribution
June 25th, 2009Posted by Judith Townend in Editors' pick, Legal, Online Journalism
Maybe not an unlikely crime, but its one that could be increasingly common as more newspapers turn to Flickr for content.
Andy Piper writes on his blog:
“The Daily Mail posted a story on their website about my friend Andy Stanford-Clark, and used a crop from one of my photos to illustrate it. As it happens, I would have been perfectly happy for them to use it (and even to crop it) if they’d asked for permission. At the time I post this, they are not following the Creative Commons BY-NC-ND licence…”
“….it’s a national newspaper displaying what would appear to be significant ignorance about the morality of using user-created content.”
