Flickr Fight Follow-up: The proof

January 26th, 2008 · No Comments

After the post I did a couple of days back about FlickrFight using images and not attributing them to the photographers who took and own the images, I thought it might  help to actually point to some of the things that FlickrFight is doing.

First off, they’re not copying the images, they are getting them from the Flickr API.  As a result they have access to all the information required to properly attribute the photos, and I sorted that out after five minutes of looking through the Flickr API documentation.

Here are two Creative Commons licensed images that came up in my search for Sunrise vs. Sunset:

Get it together, FlickrFight.  Attribute the photos!  Everything you need to know is RIGHT HERE.
