Neil,Thanks for the input. Have you contacted the admins of the site about this? I really can't do much but forward this along to them. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi Jonathan,I've started using Imagestamper and found it extremely useful. However, for the past couple of days, I've received an error message when I tried to add tags. The same thing happens if I don't add tags and simply press the image stamp button.I don't know if this is something you're aware of, or even if it is an issue (might just be me!).Hope to hear what's what.Cheers,Neil WPS: I'm using Firefox 3 on a Mac (OSX 10.5.6) in case that makes a difference.

First off, thank you for your comment and your compliments. I greatly appreciate it. If you have statistics on this, I would love to see them. I've never had this happen in my personal experience and do not know anyone directly who has it happen, at least not to the point they were threatened with any kind of action, so some hard numbers would be greatly appealing.I had read about the partnership with Getty, it had been a long time in the making and it seems that it just now finally reached some level of completion. I didn't realize though that it required users switch their license back to ARR. That is interesting and a bit worrisome. However, I don't think A) A large % of Flickr users will take Getty up and B) That many of the CC crowd will want to anyway.Still, something to follow with great interest. Thank you for the heads up on all of this.

That is interesting, can you have this person get in touch with me or email me their contact info so I can talk to them about it for a future article? This is something that interests me greatly. I'd also like to talk with the CC organization about this.

Hi, I'm the developer of ImageStamper. Thanks for trying out theservice and for an insightful article about it.Reading it made me realise that I ought to publish statistics on howoften licenses change on Flickr; right now it is still relativelyinfrequent, but at the same time far more common than people seem torealise.Also, you may be aware that Getty Images have recently partnered withFlickr. They offer Flickr photographers the opportunity to submitphotos into a Getty Pool, images in which will be considered forinclusion within Getty's commercial catalogue. However, Getty insistthat CC-licensed images need to have their license reverted to AllRights Reserved. This creates a strong incentive for photographers tochange existing licenses (more here:http://www.flickr.com/groups/gettyimagesonflick... )Cheers,Alexei
