| ->> Reading this story by a freelance writer, who by her own admission knows it goes against her better judgement, still gives her picture to Starbucks with unlimited and unrestricted use. It just boggles my mind. http://tinyurl.com/yccuz3k. I guess she never saw the Harlan Ellison video. |

->> Dirk,
I didn't read the three pages of comments, so maybe it's buried in there, but I'm not seeing where she provided them the license.
To the contrary, "I responded, indicating that I am a freelancer, and I only allow businesses to use my photos with payment." and "And here I was, thinking that trading content for "increased traffic and visibility to your page" was a trigger for my spam filter -- a sales pitch that went out in the late 1990s, along with instant-espresso powder." |

->> I just read all of the comments (I had to wash my eyes afterward.) Nowhere does it indicate that the writer gave up the rights to her image.
