Jeff – that is a good idea. Do you use something like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-flickr-manager/ or another WP plugin?

Doug,

I usually send it to my Wordpress blog page and then pick it up there; I use the attribution that Wordpress uses and call it good.

HTH

Regards,

Jeff

It’s not that interesting. We have an intern who helps find b-roll footage for the editing process so the editors don’t always have to.

Best,

Interesting commentary on the editing process

I use a lot of (cc) images from flickr in my presentations and really try hard to always provide attribution with the images.

My workflow usually involves a little cc logo in the bottom corner of the image, and the flickr username/user photo of the person that uploaded the image to flickr and licensed it. All of this links to flickr page for the image. All told, this sometimes takes 5 minutes or so.

I’ve often wished there were ways to automate this process, or that flickr itself provided an easy way to provide attribution.

I’m really interested in hearing tricks for making it easier for people to do the right thing when it comes to (cc).

That is an excellent idea! Thanks for understanding, we’re now going back through the episode to make sure we didn’t miss credit for anyone else either. Take care!

it just hit me – how about doing a segment on Creative Commons – showing how easy it is to find free resources, and how to provide attribution. It’d be a VERY valuable resource, and would help educate your audience (and interns ) – I know I’d be sending people to view the segment…

I hope the 50 lashings weren’t very harsh. I figured it was just a simple oversight. It’s really not a big deal, but I wanted to document it because I talk a fair bit about using CC licenses, and need to be able to show what happens when attribution isn’t provided – your response is perfect. A simple oversight, to be fixed ASAP. Thanks for that!

Hey D’Arcy!

I’d like to apologize on behalf of the Tekzilla team. We believe very strongly in CC, and the rights it offers content creators. This was a mistake on the part of a production intern (not to lay blame, but we have given her the requisite 50 lashings as is the typical punishment for a first-time offense here at the office).

Someone else emailed us about this, but we wish you had come to us first! We’ll give proper credit in this weeks episode, and please accept our apology.

Best,
Veronica

Hi Dean,

Creative commons is as strong as the copyright law that it is derived from. So at least in North America very solid, but plenty of grey for fair use.

http://fairuse.stanford.edu/primary_materials/cases/ includes at least one creative commons related case.

Cheers,
Lloyd
