A Scream come true
March 9, 2011 by pmelcher.
A dream come true : your image being used everywhere. A nightmare come true : you don’t get a penny while others are. A frightening true life example of what happens to your photographs in the XXI.
The Stolen Scream: A Story About Noam Galai from FStoppers on Vimeo.
The question is : was the image labeled CC on Flickr ? If so, it could have led to this worldwide free loading feeding frenzy. How can this be prevented ? how do we instruct people to, at least, ask permission before using an image?
What is interesting is the photographers’ reaction. While he is clearly unhappy about the situation, instead of suing everyone, he has resolve to using the situation to publicize himself ( see his website here : http://www.thestolenscream.com/) and reverse claiming ownership of his image.
Smart, very smart. He might just end up on top.
