Their advertising pays for your free advertising on their site…. You must think you’re pretty hot stuff to reject free advertising, and links back to your work improving your SEO.

I’ve never heard of a free image feature on a blog with thousands of readers hurting someones income? Seems like a stupid move.

Maybe you all should read the agreement you accept when joining Flikr for the answer… the photos people upload must have a specified copyright by the user, which dictates whether it is okay for a third party to re-post their photo, etc…

I thought Fstoppers said that they had permission to use these? *Sarcasm*

Please remove my image from this discussion. There is advertising on this site, so I also need to be paid for use of my image. Thank you.

So I’m assuming that using the images to illustrate an article surrounded by advertising is not making profit?

Hi David,

Just had to comment on your comment above. Actually, you are not allowed to use images for editorial use. That is what editorial licenses are for. You might be confusing this with “fair use” but even so I would not the usage as you’re doing above falls into that category. Personally I have no knowledge of any case on copyright infringement of a photographic image that was successfully defended as fair use.

Also, the fact that users have a sharing option on Flickr does not give you any additional rights for embedding without a specific license.

You might want to take a closer look at copyright law on this…

Sorry about that, its just “John” asks exactly that question on a lot of my posts haha… so i did 1+1. came out 3 this time.
Its a feature on Flickr. Even when its all rights reserved, you can allow bloggers to feature your photo (with credit, link back etc) on blogs. Of course some photographers dont allow that, and then we dont feature their work.
So if photogs allow to share, we share, if not, we dont.
