Can you say with all honesty and without a doubt that when you use an image under the creative commons licence you follow it to the T?

And Example here;; quinn.anya's images on Flickr. Beautiful horse images... I've seen this alot lately; and I too have thought about using her images; but for the fact that they are under a share-alike licence and I don't fancy my artwork being used again. So even though she has AMAZING images; I don't use them because of this fact and if I did use them I would need to list my image under the same licence that she puts on hers.

I'm going to use this image as an example: Marching by quinn.anya on Flickr is listed under this licence >> Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike 2.0 Generic - which literally means that you are free:

* to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work
* to make derivative works

BUT

Under the following conditions:

* Attribution — You must give the original author credit.
* Non-Commercial — You may not use this work for commercial purposes.
* Share Alike — If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under a licence identical to this one.

All/if not most of her images are under an Attribution-Share Alike CC Licence.

Please don't be ignorant to this fact anymore. I hate seeing images after images where people do not credit people accordingly.

Ask yourself this question; if someone used your images, and didn't credit you how you would like; wouldn't you be disappointed?

I know I would... give quinn.anya and other artists under the CC licence the credit that they deserve.
