Philip Greenspun encountered similar experiences years ago, but that was only because he had the technology at the time to get the type of exposure that people would recognize his work. Flickr is not only that technology, it promotes community so when a great photo (or even not so great ones) get pawned off by someone else, the originator of the photo is often contacted. Otherwise people would go on taking other people's works without being noticed. Thanks for sharing your experience! Cheers, -Bri This is actually an example of the strength of Flickr.
