A couple things:

1. The “All Sizes” code will show up on any photo which has not been “protected” in any way, like this completely random selection which happens to have a CC attribution, no derivitives license.

2. There are just too many examples of companies and individuals trying to exploit the “well you put it on the Internet, so it’s public” defense for stuff like this. I’ll have a post up on my site in a couple of days with some recent, glaring examples.

3. Hosting others’ photos not only is impolite/illegal/bad mojo, it’s also a poor practice from a technical perspective. Unless you’re told to not “hot-link” to someone elses work, you should always link to the original source in case it gets updated/modified… besides, it will save you bandwidth on your hosting account!

Thanks for your post, Becks. I remain a little apprehensive that people scour the net and might lift the various travel photos I’ve taken in the last while. I think in the end, it’s always nice to ask; it’s only polite.

Yep, I think that code is only on friends’ photos.

Boris: I think it only gives the ‘all sizes’ code on your own photos… maybe your friends’ as well but not all people

Easier way is to just click on “All Sizes”, select the size, and you’ll have HTML underneath with a full link and everything….

It's funny...I was just thinking about this topic last night, as I ran across a photo on flickriver that gave me some funny memories...and then I started thinking about resetting some of the copyright settings for my photos on flickr as a result. Maybe I'll do that once I get back from Beijing and Shanghai next week. You know, it would be handy if flickr would paste right into the "blog this" blog entry, the link to the Creative Commons license terms. They ask us to do this, and, well, it would be better if we could just help out the lazy people (like myself)...

Thanks for posting this. I was fortunate in actually being asked permission by Beyond Robson before they used one of my photos, so I’m thankful for that. Linking back to your photo source is the cardinal rule of blogging, imo.
