…And, finally, an admission to end the story. Why do people do this sort of crap? Stop fucking up the web.pic.twitter.com/OWreQDaO63
…And if you are going to start some dodgy new link scheme, have the fucking brains to not email _me_ about it, FFS. </rant>
@aral @Propellernet sounds like Creative Commons BY-License. Don’t know what is dodgy there?
@yatil It’s not (see the email they sent me). It’s a link scheme to transfer search engine juice to their clients. +@Propellernet
@aral Yes, if you take a photo from my website, you link to my website, having a broker in between doesn’t change that IMHO…+@Propellernet
@yatil Again, this is not what is happening. I say, here, Eric, take this photo of a burger for free, & link to McDonald’s… +@Propellernet
@aral @yatil @Propellernet What's the difference to Flickr then? Attribution goes back to Flickr account for photographer... Doesn't it?
@interacter It wasn’t the same. They’ve now updated their terms and CC licensed the photos. +@yatil @Propellernet
@aral @yatil @Propellernet Ahh that would be it then. I read the FAQs about 3 minutes ago so probably post update.
@aral Why should Flickr (Yahoo) get all the benefit of people opening up their image libraries under a CC BY licence?
@aral thank you - we've updated our FAQ - http://photoshr.co.uk/faq - as a publisher you can nofollow the image you choose to use. no catch.
@aral looks like their pushing holiday snap quality images.
@aral @Propellernet it doesn't really help the huge misconceptions people have about their right to use any image they find online.
@aral Does seem an unethical way to get links for clients. 'Have more low quality links as we can't buy them for you anymore?'
@aral @Propellernet Is this any different to referencing a Flickr image's creator?
@aral weird — isn’t that basically CC-BY-NC-as-a-service?
