One thing people forget-Someone else may have use your photo in their own way and signed it away under creative Commons. This is why companies should check each photo(contacting the owner) before using that photo for their commercial services. I do wedding photography and a few months ago I found my photo signed away to wikipedia. a link(was found,leading to some 3d party site in India.What gives??? It's extremely hard to control.

There were a bunch of issues surrounding Creative Commons — like whether displaying search results constitute “use” under CC, and because we are a for profit entity, does that constitute “commercial use.” etc. Lots of interesting topics and tough questions.

I made a little web app called PictureSandbox to make it easier for most people to search for CC-licensed photos (primarily from Flickr) -- and to license and pay for it for use as stock photos. I have also made an interface to create "phreetings" (photo + greeting) by simple drag-n-drop. (see: http://picturesandbox.com/card ) here's a "phreeting" with my shot of Gotham Hall yesterday http://picturesandbox.com/card/x7pqewax and an older picture of Chihuly glass at the NY Botanical Garden http://picturesandbox.com/card/69rs8ubv Hope to speak with you ...
