Most of the times, it's just misunderstanding; however there are a few folks who just have no respect for intellectual property rights. This is why I put copyrights on all my photos. This doesn't stop people from using them w/o asking. The problem with CC license is that there are too many variations, and some just assume that CC=Free for all.

Had you read it, you'd have seen that I was not criticizing you as much as I was highlighting the need to give credit where credit is due. Your blacklisting of our flickr accounts offends me -- among other things it sends a message to Flickr that WE broke the terms of service. I wish you all good luck with your blogging venture. I hope you make money. Piles of it. David, it’s a pity that you didn’t really read what I wrote.

I've also gone ahead and blacklisted it and your flickr accounts. I never meant to offend. Although I noticed you sure noticed the image and didnt read the article. Sorry for the slow response. I was in bed with a migraine. Imagine I run a free website providing all this free coverage and all I ever get is harassment.

Just the other day there was a website (PiranhaDailyNews.com) that wrote something about 10 things they wished for. One of them was about giving photo credit where credit is due. They wrote that these sites wouldn't hesitate to get an attorney if someone took one of their images even though they take images and don't attribute them to the original source. Our photographic society is doing a great job running blindly. There are too many sites run by photographers that take others images without giving credit.
