Not without pride, we are happy to notice that most of the bloggers using Foter.com attribute CC photos properly, which is greatly facilitated by our "ready to paste" attribution info. Every time they intend to use a searched image, all they need to do is copy the image and the accompanying attribution details into their blogs.

Most is not enough, though. People often find CC photos on various sites and wonder how to attribute them. In order to help you, our team prepared a comprehensive infographic that reflects interesting research findings, gives details of Creative Commons licenses and illustrates how to properly attribute CC photos.

We do hope it will contribute to the overall quality of posted materials and promote respect for copyright owners.

"This is a true story. Three years ago, an eleven-year-old blogger here on Edublogs wrote a post about his favorite lunch food - salami. As part of his post, he used Google Images to find a quick photo of salami that he then uploaded to his blog. Fast forward to now. Our Edublogs support team just received a lengthy cease and desist letter from a large law firm that represents the photographer of the salami photo. The formal letter describes all sorts of legal problems for Edublogs and the author of the blog should we not immediately remove the photo in question."

"The aim of the Instagram Project is to challenge you to communicate a concept from A Raisin in the Sun through the use of visual images. You will choose a theme/concept statement from the statements we generate or address in our Socratic Seminar at the end of the play. Once you have chosen that statement, you will produce a series of photos that you will post to Instagram in the form of a photo essay. The requirements are as follows:"

"In a game called "Got Em" the Los Angeles Clippers take pictures of their fellow teammates who are caught sleeping. The embarrassing photo game has even been picked up by other NBA teams and has become quite popular while the teams are traveling. You should sleep at your own risk around NBA players or you might get got. "

Like the music industry, Getty Images is facing a new Internet reality where content is often shared without attribution or payment. Now it's trying to catch up by riding the wave of social media. The new embed program is designed speficially to tie in with Twitter, Tumblr, Wordpress and others. Watermarks like the one in the tweet above will be removed, replaced with a sleeker attribution function.
"We've seen what YouTube's done with monetizing their embed capabilities," Peters told The Verge. "I don't know if that's going to be appropriate for us or not." In the meantime, looks like small time blogs and individual users can stop worrying about take down notices and intimidating legal action - if they ever did.
