Just noticed that he did credit you at the end somewhere…I have to say that I think what he did was okay, then!

I research for print and then it’s never really a problem (picture captions, credit list in the prelims, or endmatter), but I would just like to add here that there is no point in suing, really. Did some work for Getty Images a few yrs back and it’s really hard to settle disputes re images that have been nicked from somewhere. Having said that, it’s in breach of the CC licensing agreement and I would certainly ask for some form of compensation.

Here's an example of how I credit external works in a presentation.

As I say in the title, and in the first sentence: of course I won’t sue and it’s an honor that you use my image! So please keep it in there.

And for me an ending slide with credits is enough. And it’s something I often do myself. Because of the fact that credits in the slides are distracting.

I just wanted to spark a discussion. What do other people think? And, is it wrong use of the CC license to sum up credits at the end? Probably not.

If you have a look at my recent images on Flickr I have removed the credit burn-in. Because I think it destroys the image.

Hey there… I do have a slide at the end with all of the places I have taken the photos from/credits (at least those that were not my own)… if that is not enough, please accept this an an apology and I’m happy to not use it – I have many others of Avinash (he’s a friend).

You know where to find me if you would like to discuss or if you would like to continue the conversation.

To me it’s hard to accept that they took the burn-in. I would sue for that, or at least demand an apology and effort to promote your photography (Which they used royalty free).
