I attended a Martin Prado autograph signing today held in Atlanta (he plays for the Braves), and while I was standing in line, I noticed some guy about 2 people in front of me getting a photo signed that I had recognized as a photo I had posted on Flickr of Prado. I don't post my full-res images on Flickr, but the biggest size you can get off it is 1024x680. It looked like he got a clear 8x10 out of it. I was really aggrivated but didn't say anything because once I open my mouth in situations it goes in crazy directions that lead me into trouble.
But, now I really understand what it feels like to have your work taken from you. It's nice to know that out of all the photos on Flickr of Prado, he liked mine, but still, nothing gave him permission to print it out, and my photos don't have the creative commons license.
I guess it goes to show that you really don't understand the feeling of copyright infringement until it happens to you.
So for anyone out there who has nice photography and wants to protect their work: USE A COPYRIGHT LOGO! I have one, but don't use it much. Now I plan on using it on every photo I post on Flickr.
This is the photo he printed:
