The Bordom hurts group on Flickr has a whole lot of awesome pictures. At first glance, when I originally spied it, it looked like another spot of fun, started by those crazy kids with Cameras.
Not quite.
The group is sponsored and owned by Ford. Apparently the idea of fun isn't, 'take some photos' but 'buy a big car'.
XP Blah! says I. Flickr is a symbol of Web 2.0 - by the people for the people. And as much as I'm aware that Ford has as much right to join in the fun as anyone else, it feels like those who've banded together in the name of having some fun and escaping the materialistic bullshit are now being chased by the materialistic bullshit.
Members of the Bordom Hurts group have various lisences on their images. These can however, all be disregarded when you observe the rules -
Ford Motor Company and its designees will be free to copy, disclose, distribute, incorporate and otherwise use the Communications and all data, images, sounds, text, and other things embodied therein for any and all commercial or non-commercial purposes.
Other words - Ford can do whatever the hell they want with your pictures, and boo figgidy hoo if you don't like it.
Grr.
