This is ridiculous. The Corbis people are insane.

AP and many other wire services and newspapers often use Corbis for file photos and historical references. I know they still own the copyrights, but how the heck are we supposed to know that when we simply link to something that someone else has paid to use.

Of course, the real underlying question here is, would Corbis be going after us for posting pictures of Kerry if we were supporting his candidacy?

Or have alot of time on their hands. Or else they are afraid of what is being accomplished on this site. I vote for the latter.

Agreed. But Corbis is really just one person. One with really, really deep pockets and that person is Bill Gates.

Seems to me the easy answer is, just link to pictures.

That way, there is no worry. And it is nice for the people who have dialups.
