Creative Commons is conducting a study of what ‘non-commercial use’ of a creative work means to people. I was involved in a discussion on this topic some time ago when Bob Goyetche and I learned that podcast.com was applying advertising to our our content on their site (see Is podcast.com making money from your podcast).
Be sure to participate in the survey.
Hat tip: Terrence McLean.
The latest issue of Podcast User Magazine includes a photo of me, taken by Steve Garfield, as the header for my Defining Moments column.
While I submitted the photo as a candidate for the header, I didn’t expect it to run without a credit. More importantly, use of the photo without clearing it with Steve is a problem in this particular case since PUM makes revenue from advertising and the photo is licensed under Creative Commons attribution-non-commercial-share-alike.
Steve’s a cool guy, though, and has assured me that with appropriate credit, he is okay with the use of the photo in this particular case.
Earlier today, I submitted a request to have the PDF updated and posted an acknowledgment through the comment feature on the PUM website. The comment is in moderation.
Thanks, Steve, for taking a cool photo and for sharing it with us!
