   And by twenty one, you mean thirty one.

   Oooooooooh I am SOOOOO stuck in my twenties! You mean it’s TWO THOUSAND AND seven, not NINETEEN-NINTY seven? Dammit!

   That means I jerked up the math too. O’Mally’s only going to have time to execute 1/16th of a person between now and Jan!

   Hey Don,

   I didn’t give permission for the use of that photo, so I’d appreciate it if you would remove it. Apologies, but I have to keep a handle on my publishing rights.

   Thanks,

   Hi Bdewan,

   Your photo is currently listed as having a By-ND Creative Commons license, which allow others to use the photo, so long as it’s attributed (which it is), and non-derivative to the image itself (which it also is).

   We were going by the CC license when we posted it, initially. At your request, we’ll remove it, but I believe that we were acting within the restrictions of the license that you chose to publish the photo under. Please revisit your use of those licenses as part of your Flickr publishing if you don’t want others to use your works.

   Yeah, I used your photo after doing a search on flickr explicitly for people using the creative commons license, which you can do on the advanced search page.

   Your photo was (and still is – apparently all your photos are) under the CC-no derivatives license. If you look on the right hand column of the page for that picture you’ll see under ADDITIONAL INFORMATION the link Some rights reserved.

   At some point you went into the Flickr account preferences page and altered the setting for “What license will your photos have.” If you don’t want people using your shots without advance permission then you need to rectify that, toot sweet. We’re not interested in stepping on anyone’s toes but the letter of the license is such that someone less agreeable can tell you to piss off – you set that license and they’re within their rights to use the shot, even if you subsequently change your mind.

   Thanks for the edu-ma-cation. It’s been fixed. Don’t know what I was thinking when I set that preference. Must have been feeling all socialist with my universal healthcare and whatnot.
