Lack of credit : Flickr streams

England Away, originally uploaded by atomicShed.

Damn I love flickr & I love sharing my photos. I really love seen them used online on blogs and sites. I was stocked to see this one being used on Wamily.com a social network website as a background for users to use. What I was surprised to see what a credit to a luis viera
You see Luis has been collecting images from all over the place and then adding them to his Wallpaper photo set. He has a note saying all but 2 of the 40 or so images are not made by him. However he doesn’t credit any of the authors on the image page.

Sure I’ve added a creative commons license allowing the use of all my images. However the stipulation is that you have to give credit.
I’ve now changed the license to Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0

So credit me if you want to use them else bog off!

    John, thanks for the great image. We tweaked the wallpaper uploading process and now fully support creative commons licenses … I hope you feel inspired to create and upload some more great images. Thanks for letting us know about the wrong credit.

    Nate,
    Wamily CTO
