Title: Forbes treats web photogs disrespectfully?

Apparently so, says Thomashawk.com. Hit the link to read of one photographer"s experience with Forbes and their violations of creative commons licenses. Important read for any photographer with work posted online.

He should of course have demanded payment, and as long as they have used the photo, it doesn't really matter that they took it down again. If I eat your ice-cream, will you be happy if I spit it out again?

Mistake? No way. I ate your ice-cream by mistake? I don't think you would believe me. Bad excuse.

And how about, "and if you will email your address, we will mail you a check in the same amount we paid Getty for their images."
