Zusammenfassung auf deutsch:
Zum zweifelhaften Umgang mit Copyright bei Tamedia/Newsnetz
I was happy to see my Erwin Wurm picture in this article* (as well as here and here*) – but less so not to find any proper attribution alongside it, nor a paycheck in my mailbox.
I am pissed, quite frankly, I am confident those in charge** will sort this out, and I have taken the appropriate steps.
– Updated in the comment section, and blogged by Bö.
– Artikel zur Story: «Auch Flickr-Bilder sind nicht gratis» auf fotointern.ch
– Update #3 (new!): They continue to ignore the copyrights of Flickr users… who's next?
Petition: Join the group «Newsnetz: Please stop using Flickr pictures without asking»!
