Flickr: search for photos you can use

Services like YouTube and Flickr live a lie.

Many of their pages state that everything is copy protected — but then do everything they can to encourage “sharing”.

Flickr has a “Blog This” button. But … if you blog the photo it is slightly possible the original creator will be ticked-off.

But I finally discovered how to search flickr just for photos posted under a Creative Commons licence. Normally this means you can use the image under some restrictions. Usually you must give proper attribution and link back to the source.

If interested, here is the search page: flickr.com/creativecommons/

When I first tried the service, I searched for “West Coast Trail”. Look what came up:
