Task 8
On the flicker from Yahoo site I searched for a pink flower (pool) which had the + sign to indicate it was free use. The + offerings were good because it narrowed down the search, therefore eliminating the trial and error process of selection from a regular search engine if the images are to be used in a share or commercial use. This would seem to me to be the point of it's offerings.
I printed a copy of a flower I chose from the offerings as an enlargement. I can see a number of uses that a patron may want to use it for. For example a student might want to turn in a paper about the flower that would be greatly enhanced with a photo. A patron might be a gardener and take the photograph with her to see if she would be able to buy that plant there. A patron might be a musician who is producing a CD and want to use the picture in a cover for it.
This is a good site to use without having the worry of whether or not to seek permission under copyright law.
It's nice to see something like the Nine Inch Nails The Slip would be available on the Creative Commons. It seems like it turned out to be profitable for the producers even though it was free use.
