They really only violated one term of my CC license. I gave permission to Leslie Pritchett who runs the Black Block Arts Foundation to use the photo for the Examiner story, but with credit. The credit part is what's lacking. I will see about getting that corrected. ruby: That's funny, there was an opening dedication last week with the Mayor and a bunch of kids with him. He quizzed the kids on what they thought of the sculpture and one of them also said it looked like the Forest Spirit after it had its head cut off. Great minds think alike! Check out Scott Beale's <a href="http://laughingsquid.com/2005/11/18/flock-dedication-photos/" rel="nofollow">photos</a> to see Flock in its new home. cassidy: I completely agree with the sentiment and will contact them.

Cool. Lazy reporters stealing content from blogs... and they wonder how we manage to compete with them!

If you don't call them on it, it blurs the line between your CC license and plain old public domain.

Even if you don't need the money yourself, do it for the sake of the other photographers who the Examiner will try to screw in the future. If they think they can get away with using people's photos without paying for them, it only makes it that much harder for professional photographers to make a living.
