Slog - Comments on You Shoot ’Em! http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/you_shoot_em The Stranger now has a reader-powered photo pool, Stranger Photos on Flickr. We're looking for Seattle-area photography—rock shows, art shows, politicians, punks, puppies, nature, graffiti, parades, street preachers, clouds, crime scenes… Whatever you're shooting around town. (No porn and no copyrighted images, please.) Don't forget to include a caption and your name and/or URL. How to add your photos: 1. Join Flickr, if you haven't already. 2. Join the Stranger Photos Flickr group: www.flickr.com/groups/strangerphotos. 3. Upload your photos to Flikr. 4. Add photos to the Stranger Photos group by clicking "Send to Group" on the Flickr page of the photo...

Why not just do creative commons? You know, some rights reserved? Or ... the original photographer owns it, but the stranger can publish it.

Anyone know their story? Me and about a trillion co-workers see them almost daily and are dying to know.

Perhaps if photos were uploaded to the Stranger web site. But if you notice how FLickr works, everything is still attached to an account, and the account holder determines the license a photo is released under. Not the group.

If a user puts a photo in the pool but has it marked as "copyright [user]", then you can't use it.

The best way to manage it is to use the image according to what the user specified in Flickr. If it is creative commons license, there you go. If it is copyrighted, then your claim in this blog post won't mean shit.

Just sayin'

Are they Seattle fixtures or Stranger reporters incognito?

All photos are copyrighted. You can get permission to use them ("usage rights"), or you can take ownership of the copyright, but the only photos that actually have no copyright are old photos where their copyright has expired.

Jesus, you'd think people at a newspaper would have some basic grasp of copyright law.

The whole copyright thing is/was an unfortunate start, but glad Stranger is joining the club and adding to an existing cool thing instead of cobbling together a lame imitation cool thing. Does beg the question of which pool to throw your Seattle images in. Guess it depends on your motivation.
