Photo usage
So one of the hazards of putting up photos on the Internet is that it's kind of a free-for-all for everyone. Knowing that, I do still post on Flickr and generally don't mind if people want to use my photos for blog posts or whatever. Many people who do so (and all legit web publications) link back to my Flickr photo page and/or my photostream which is totally cool. Some people don't which I'm actually kind of okay with.
What's not cool (and makes no sense???) is when people watermark/brand your image as if it were theirs. Wtf? Because a) it's not theirs! and b) are you trying to keep people from stealing the image that you stole? Because aside from the obvious hypocrisy, there's really no point in branding the image when it can easily be found elsewhere on the internet.
Anyway, I commented on the page I found my image on (it was kind of a shitty image, too, so I don't know why she wants to lay claim to it) letting the author know that I don't mind her using my photo, but to please use the image sans branding.
