Over the past many months we have learned a lot from the seasoned photographers and professionals at TWIP.  This article posted by Scott Bourne was very interesting and in our opinion should be read so all photographers are at least aware of the issues.

Here is the brief... Flickr, as you probably already know, is an online photo service that allows seemingly unlimited uploads of your photos.  It's great for showing others your work, including family, friends and whoever.  They make available to other companies, in this case MyxerTones... the use of the photos you upload through sharing of their Application Programming Interface (API: not to be confused with Atmospheric Pressure Ionization).   

Flickr is allowing 3rd party companies to access your photos while disregarding any copyrights that may apply.  This is a HUGE problem.  Hopefully this issue, with the help of TWIP and other organized photographers gets some traction.  Perhaps it will raise awareness and affect some positive change.
