Creative Commons Non-Commercial licencingDear Rob and assorted b3tans,
It's quite common it seems for various entities (The Sun, Mail etc) to pilfer our hummus for commercial uses and for b3ta and the artist to not get any credit for it. I'd like to see all posts on b3ta covered by a blanket Creative Commons licence (which has a default Attribution clause) and a checkbox ON by default for the "non-commercial" clause.
It would probably also help for a b3ta.com watermark to be added automatically to each picture at display time to help with the attribution. Although we don't have an extensive legal team to pursue breaches of the copyright, I expect that media organisations would not be too keen to be seen in flagrant breach of copyright.
Sincerely.
l'otter.

Nice idea,but I doubt the Sun et al will take any notice. They don't currently credit anyone for their pictures; why would they do so just because of a little CC below each picture?
I do bum CC in general, though; it's great.

Or alternativelyin B3ta's T&Cs (for what they are) a clause that says that B3ta has the right to use submitted artwork but copyright is maintained by the artist. Furthermore, the content of the site is not public domain.
That should cover it
