Yahoo's Flickr in copyright violation tangle
20 May 2007 Yahoo's popular photo sharing website
Flickr has been accused of copyright violation. A
photographer who found out that some of her photos were sold
by a UK based online gallery has approached Yahoo on this
issue.
Yahoo later apologised for the mistake, but the issue has
raised questions on copyright protection in the online
digital age.
The photographer who published the photos on Flickr has
rights to copyright protection, and Flickr states that
people cannot use the photos without copyright protection.
The photographer alleges that the stolen photos were taken
from the website, but she was refused payment for the same,
which comes to around EUR 2500.
