Woo-hoo! I "wuz robbed"!

[sylvar]

A Flickr user tipped me off that PopSci has used a photo of mine with credit in this story about red-light cameras: "Unbelivable cheapskates, a big magazine company stealing from flickr instead of goint to a microstock company for $5.00. You wuz robbed..."

I'm guessing that user had a similar photo on a microstock company's site and was selling it for $5.00. :)

Man, they provided attribution and everything. That's awesome. Congrats!

If it's under Creative Commons, it's not "stealing". (I was going to post that it's still a copyright violation because they didn't get your permission, but under Creative Commons, I believe that permission is implied.)

It's not just implied - it's expressly granted. :)

Thanks--I haven't read the license info.

Sometimes people think that all you have to do is give credit for something you steal and it's okay.

Which is why Creative Commons is so awesome...
