not all of it, Sue !
the others look familiar. at least i recognized the one of the girl in retro dress with the drink in her hand. i think that came from some fashion mag. in fact the rest that is still there looks like they could have been taken from the same "mode site"... given the similar retro faded polaroid type "style"

I didn't say 'all of them'.

BTW, can someone tell me how to GIS from Flickr images which are right-click protected. Someone put me onto a program, but it only worked once then failed.

If you search Flickr for Shutterstock, Dreamstime, Fotolia (hehe), etc you get lots of hits, but how many of them are stolen from SS and how many the tog is indicating are available from a site (probably against Flickr's T&C) it's hard to know.

as i said before, i still wonder why someone would put en-masse works of someone else's.
is this due to flickr announcement that they are now getting into ms , and these ppl are opening accounts with large portfolios hoping to cash in with their fraud?

like another commentor said, they must have gotten the images from a dvd off torrent or whatever.
or this is a "community" of thieves using flickr to broaden their "market".

the mind boggles. i am not even convinced that the first one was actually himself, since he has more to lose as an administrator with his cv on linkedn , if he was to be branded an IP thief.

Good point the likedn could be a fake id link to. flickr is full of them.
