I think most media using this picture do not know about the CC not for commercial use license?

UPDATE: unclear if the poster of this picture on flickr is in fact copyright owner and hence can state the license

UPDATE2: poster removed cc licnese and it now states "copyrighted".. but not by poster

UPDATE3: poster removed pic and changed it wit as screenshot of teh pic (doent matter legally since you do not own copyright on screenshots as well :-)

@imajes, "post first, let the lawyers take care of it later." all media do it... but the moment you copy /their/ text.. :-)

@imajes
How on earth do you know they haven't got in touch with @jkrums and bought the rights?

imajes    says:

Chris Dymond : It might have been bought. But history tells us that main stream media isn't that savvy. It's almost certain it's stolen.

bertboerland    says:

@chris: i dont ... they might have... but from my experience, publish fist, ask questions later

CNN did that to me during the 2000 crash of Alaska Airlines. Took first, then asked [and i granted, but only with contract in hand].

@vjl, the world has changed since 2000, media have to move faster. and they publish fist and take care of copyright later. otherwise joe blogger will take traffic (and joe doenst care much about IP either :-)

@Imajes
"It's almost certain", but you said "Disgraceful MSNBC theft"

Was that hyperbole?
Posted 12 months ago. ( permalink )

imajes    says:

Chris Dymond Sure. i posted initially before i had seen that MSNBC had interviewed Krums so i assumed it's stolen. stuff that's attributed that way often is. I'm willing to step up and admit i might be wrong, -- mostly because i'm sure i'm not.
Posted 12 months ago. ( permalink )

vjl    says:

@bertboerland No, i mean that CNN did the same thing to me - they took w/o asking and an hour later, called me and we wheeled and dealed. Just liked MSNBC must be doing now... :)

Chris Dymond    says:

Hmm. I wonder. I can imagine media companies have reviewed their rights management policies several times over the last few years. Not sure what the state of play is.

@NYCphotos-flickr    says:

yes definitely amazing - looks like twit pic is back up though, which is good!

Chris Dymond    says:

@vjl doesn't that give you more leverage? I mean they can't play you off against someone else - they've already used the image!

bertboerland    says:

@vjl so not that much has changed in the last 8 years :-)

vjl    says:

The original photographer of this image was interviewed on MSNBC and correctly attributed to this image, but that info did not make it to the msnbc.com web folks.

@bertboerland - you are correct; not much has changed at all. :( :)

@Chris Dymond - the only leverage it gives me is i could have told them to not use it [and then not get paid for already-aired footage]. They wanted exclusive access to the photos I took of the a/c that crashed; I told them because they had already aired it, I would not give them that benefit, but they could still pay me $x for the right to use. They agreed, and I sold print rights to others and it made the front page of several US newspapers.

The place to go [where all us airline addicts go as well as news media go [but they only go when there's a crash]] is airliners.net. That is where I published my photos first and that is how CNN, et al, contacted me from.
