So the question I’m left with is, if Yahoo execs are not really using Flickr in a Web 2.0 sort of way personally, can we really expect them to understand the tremendous innovation that Flickr represents for Web 2.0 in general? If they don’t “get it” first hand. If they don’t eat their own dogfood, so to speak, can we really expect them to truly take Flickr and social sharing in general where it needs to go?

Life has a finite number of days, hours, minutes and seconds in it. Every hour I spend worrying about unauthorized use of my photography means an hour less that I get to spend with my kids or taking photos or processing photos or engaging in conversations that are valuable to me. I’ve always considered theft of my photos simply to be a byproduct that goes along with the choice to share my work online.

Now some might say that maybe this is a good thing. Maybe this makes prison that much more of a deterrent for people who might commit crime. But for many in prison their rapes are tragedies. They are deep moral marks of deficiency on our society. The Eighth Amendment to the US Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. And yet as a society we make light of prison rape and allow an unusually high percentage of it to take place.
