Kudos to author Doug MacMillan for getting the attribution repaired in a very timely manner despite, I am told, an overworked art department at BW. So Doug and the other B Dubs are invited to the next Herald Veuve Soiree after all! Maybe, but on the other hand see the update.

Which isn't very likely, hahahahahaha but yeah. Very doubtful. “What you are most likely to recieve in the end, is simply a correction and acknowledgement in the next issue.”

Unlike the Herald, Business Week is not a group blog with a half a dozen or so writers, it is a real world publication with a very large staff. As far as their legal team knows, this image could have come from anywhere. It could have been pulled from the Herald, it could have been simply copied from a google image search, or in fact, it could have been given to them by the subject himself. If he himself copied the image from the Herald and he gave it to Business Week, then as far as they are concerned it is his property. These are possiblities they need to investigate and verify before they can even get back to you. A couple of days is jumping the gun. Expecting them to go back in and edit the piece is unrealistic given that if it is also intended to appear in the paper copy, it has probably already gone to print.

I have done a few real life freeware copyleft projects, and I usually put them out with not rights reserved whatsoever, use, reuse or abuse as you like (if those things served my own purpose, which is why I usually write them in the first place, I just let them float out and don't bother with them anymore). My in-world items (the two or three I made or modded) are always copy/mod/transfer and while I put in my name somewhere. Attribution is a nice touch, and I myself do it always, but I couldn't care less if someone takes my name out. To me it's just not worth any time or brain power. Prok,

nice try!

Emailing the writer of the article likely *will not help at all* because usually an editor or photography editor is the one to choose the picture, and the writer may have zero influence over what pictures are used.

Reporters will tell you that you'll get to see the story first and approve it ahead of time, or that they'll list your website. But they aren't required to follow up on their promises. Once they have your permission, they have your permission. That's it. Many a fandom has been raked over the coals by yellow journalists promising everything short of the moon in order to get people to cooperate. Fact: the reporter isn't your friend and isn't there to help you. The reporter only wants to get a story out, whether the facts are correct or not. They are concerned with their own interests and not yours. As I understand it, there is no such thing as conditional permissions in the news reporting business.

Why be so egotistic? Do you suffer from some neurosis? What is it with this egotistical profile thing among coders? They should just work for the common good.
