I'm not sure that Yahoo really gets that it's the community, the flickrness of it all. <br /><br />Flickr users are great at the community bit and don't need much help on that, but we do need Yahoo to understand about the flickrness and find ways of keeping that going when things go wrong like in this case.Debrahttp://vladography.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-1987028548319027642012-03-15T02:27:57.379+00:002012-03-15T02:27:57.379+00:00Your actual position?

...Your actual position? You simply do not matter. <br /><br />The press will go away and be insignificantly indignant about something else when Flickr and Yahoo buy a few lunches: you don't even matter enough that they'll buy some advertising to pay for favourable coverage to smooth it over.<br /><br />If you did, the media would be full of GoDaddy-sized posters of female skin, wow!Celebrity! images and prime-time product placements that make the brand - any brand - waaaay cooler than listening to geeks whining on a blog. <br /><br />And it would work: if a quarter of all Flickr cusomers were deleted, banned, driven out of the online media storage universe and digital photography *completely*, and then sued into destitution, customer numbers and revenue would still continue to rise.<br /><br />It worked for GoDaddy. Sort of. Or so I hear, and I suspect that whoever says such things has avid listeners among the main decision-makers in Flickr and Yahoo. Who are, incidentally, well aware that a litigation business model supersedes outdated notions of customer focus. <br /><br />Whatever these 'customer' things are.<br /><br /> Marketing people tell me that there's some sort of 'customer' number that we sell to advertising buyers - you know: people who matter and give us LARGE amounts of money.Nilehttp://www.anonymous.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-64334367041275390722012-03-15T00:00:05.584+00:002012-03-15T00:00:05.584+00:00@Paula Bailey: I received the same boilerplate ema...@Paula Bailey: I received the same boilerplate email about it as <b>lovestruck.</b> It's not two strikes. The phrase used is ambiguous: <i>"Subsequent NOIs filed against your account will result in<br />further action that may include termination without warning."</i><br /><br />So that's NOIs, plural... and <i>may include termination</i>.<br /><br />I think because the start of that process is so unfriendly and assumes you're guilty - there's no advice on how to counter it (although that's one of the things they're promising to change) people assume they're being told a straight <i>"do it again and you're out"</i> message. It's not really as clear cut as that.Dave Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260701102207639816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-8681149434871053992012-03-14T23:42:48.466+00:002012-03-14T23:42:48.466+00:00@Sean O'Reilly yup... the tricky part is tryin...@Sean O'Reilly yup... the tricky part is trying to find the way up the food chain when they close ranks!Dave Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260701102207639816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-86861108072897350312012-03-14T23:41:50.450+00:002012-03-14T23:41:50.450+00:00@Harry: it's related insomuch as they're b...@Harry: it's related insomuch as they're both abuses of the copyright law. But I'd say unrelated in that the company trying to close The Hobbit do at least have a genuine belief that they own the copyright. It's a ridiculous belief and one that's well worth fighting, but different in that regard at least. A true analogy would be their lawyers trying to close down The Red Lion because they once put a poster up for the pub quiz being held at the pub across the road from The Hobbit.Dave Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260701102207639816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-91777447843613678512012-03-14T23:15:41.963+00:002012-03-14T23:15:41.963+00:00Can I say thank you to Dave for putting his time, ...Can I say thank you to Dave for putting his time, effort and considerable weight behind this project.<br /><br />If Flickr do change their policy it is a considerable victory, and a battle won in what will be a long war.<br /><br />Thanks, Dave.Dominic Sayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05932826428389425341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-51039778443916531552012-03-14T22:46:49.458+00:002012-03-14T22:46:49.458+00:00I believe that with Flickr, it's only two stri...I believe that with Flickr, it's only two strikes and you're deleted.
