Mike Arrington over at TechCrunch gave his own opinion on the recent Flickr Censorship issue regarding the removal of the Obama/Joker image and I think it's one of the best that I've seen on the issue yet in a post entitled "Free Speech, Where's the Courage":
"Yahoo/Flickr should have asked its attorneys if the copyright claim had any validity at all before removing the image, particularly since in this case the image is so clearly non-infringing and also is so politically charged. Yes, Yahoo would have had theoretical liability by not complying if the image was later proven to be copyright infringing. But as I said above, any lawyer could tell you that this is clearly a fair use of the original Obama image, Time Magazine’s copyright and copyright around the movie.
In the past Flickr has deleted accounts of users who are critical of President Obama, but as far as I know nothing like this was done to users who were critical of Bush.
It’s clear that the Flickr team wanted to take this image down. Not only was the image removed, but the entire page was taken down with all the comments to the image. There’s nothing in the DMCA that says you have to do that, too.
Flickr lost my trust over this issue. They failed to stand up for a user who chose to display his work on Flickr over competitors. "
I commented on Mike's article regarding my own previous experience with a DMCA takedown notice from Flickr here.
Since ten years, there is a series in one of the largest german weekly newspaper, called "die ZEIT". (the Time)
More exactly in the supplement, the ZEIT magazine. The series is about dreams:
dreams repeating lots of nights, dreams for the presence, dreams for the future.
Ilustrated by a portrait of some interesting character, mostly a famous one, known or admired by many. And by her/his story of one great dream she/he has.
I really admire this series, i really adore the photographers and their mostly fantastic portraits, so intimate, so true.
So i worked on a portrait - at first a self - was not satisfied for long, but now i am.
Here is my dream.
i have a dream:
in my dream, which recurs every few nights, the central theme has - at first appearance - to do with my own family. I see pictures of my grandma, living in reverse chronological sequence. I saw her in the garden, talking to the silhouette of my dead grandpa, next changing clothes in a fast, nervous way: dusty clothes, bridal dress, swimming coat and more. After some surreal scenes more, she is singing a lullaby at my bed a few days after we came to live by my grandparents.
Since the birth of my daughter alma, i saw alma and her talking without words - and the last scene before awakening, my grandma curves herself, getting thinner and smaller so long as she is a baby in my arms.
This dream makes me feel confident in some nights, it frightens me in others. Since my daughter is born, i feel more confident about it, it's a feeling of beloved persons flowing into each other, as times are closely connected somehow.
Even if the transformation is horrible in nightly pictures, i consciously try to comprehend it by day as a symbol of safety and closeness between people, family, by day.
