Flickr Video (Apology Accepted - See comment)
I was a delegate for the Republican Party at Saturday's Convention (5/30/09). A young man named Adnan Barqawi made an excellent speech; I recorded 1 minute and 7 second of his speech and posted it on flickr on May 31, 2009. Then that night imagine my surprise when I found my video and my Description posted on YouTube by someone named Ma3lstr0m. He posted it and did not ask me if he could use it, or give me credit.
As many of you know I do not copyright my images - they have been used in cookbook, calendar, college poster, newspapers, adds, A Spanish Science Journal, and even in the Stan Lee production of The Hulk. I get paid for some and just a thanks for other - all I really ask is that people ask, use them in good taste, and give me the credit due for taking them.
Ma3lstr0m did nothing but steal them. He has not answered my e-mail. I know he is on flickr but not under the name he uses on YouTube. So watch out for him and your photos/videos. If you want pay his pages in YouTube a visit and say hello or whatever.
And I thank you who have asked and play fairly.
