Here's Alan Levine: "did you know that the liberating world of 'use any photo you want w/o the hassle of attribution' is such a bucket of questionable slime? And that Google, with all of their algorithmic prowess, gives more favorable results to sites that lift photos than to the ones where the originals exist?" Of course I knew all this was going to happen; I predicted it fifteen years ago, which is why I warned about the use of licenses that allow commercial use of photos and resources. Moreover, while I definitely agree that photos and resources should be attribute authorship (and I have some 30K posts doing just that) I have never agreed with the idea that each attribution should also be an advertisement for Creative Commons.
