<reporter547> Hi there
<taru> hi
<reporter547> Is this a good place to get a message to OccupyWallStreet protestors?
<taru> ya...im sure someone will see it
<reporter547> ty.
<reporter547> I just wanted to give you an insight into how online journalists
<reporter547> especially foreign ones (like me) are thinking at the moment
<reporter547> In order to write an article, we need a photograph for commercial reuse
<reporter547> I strugged to find one with BART, but went on anyway, because it was so important
<reporter547> On other stories, I just haven't bothered writing them, for lack of the photo
<reporter547> Some sites requre that photo, but it has to be designated 'for commercial reuse'
<reporter547> The short tip: Any photos you wish to see used in online magazines, make them 'for commercial reuse'
<reporter547> which will boost your chances of having much more coverage
<reporter547> :D
<reporter547> And good luck with the operation!
<taru> ok
<taru> is that a certain license?
<reporter547> This is me btw: http://joharrington.suite101.com/ Just so you know I'm not talking completely out of my arse :p
<taru> like creative commons?
<reporter547> It can be set with creative commons
<reporter547> So sites like Flick R have a section to put that as the licence
<reporter547> I think it's CC 2, but let me check

<taru> ok, i'll get the word out for ppl to add on their photos.  thx :)
<reporter547> You're welcome
