Like on Flickr.<BR/><BR/>E.g. while MM clearly didn't ask for your permission or inform you about the use. They did use the content verbatim and attributed it back to you. Personally, I think that's dodgy. But, obviously they did not.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I just noticed Twitter says, "Your profile and materials uploaded remain yours."Ben Israelhttp://twitter.com/ben_israelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630791402854049329.post-4081418499257015282009-04-03T13:53:00.000+08:002009-04-03T13:53:00.000+08:00@Ben_Israel: Thanks for the comment!

Have neither the energy nor the time to do so.<BR/><BR/>I'm not pissed at The Malay Mail, more surprised. Wouldn've been great if some common courtesy was shown.<BR/><BR/>Rather, I think it's a worthy case study to see if what's essentially an online behaviour (taking and republishing / repurposing) is making its way offline (when a newspaper takes online content and repurposes / republishes it).<BR/><BR/>In my particular case, I've no intention of making this blog Creative Commons. So the question is, when the Malay Mail took the content and published it, did it constitute "fair use"?<BR/><BR/>As an aside, Molly Wood publishes a great blog about the culture of ownership at (http://www.cultureofownership.org) and discusses how the idea of ownership is changing and that expands on the few thoughts linked to this post.
