I would like to issue a warning to all you Flickr users out there. Flickr has started up another contest called 888. This is another contest like the 24 hours of Flickr and the terms of service is also very similar. One line that is of special note to everyone that submits photos is that Flickr can sell the photos submitted (via the moo website) without notice or remuneration to the photographer. That’s right folks, they can make a profit from your photos without giving you a dime. This is another case of a large corporation trying to get some charity to line their coffers. I would recommend that you do not submit any photos to 888 until Flickr and Moo come up with a rights management for photographers. Both these corporations make large profits and they shouldn’t be using your work free of charge! Visit Bitzi’s Flickr page where he nicely outlines the terms of services for you.

Great heads up on this. I was actually contemplating participating but will certainly opt out now.

Thanks for the heads up. I saw this and was going to do it. But guess I’m out now. Good looking out.
