Hello everyone,

today one of my photographs was again published in a newspaper, without attribution nor licencing. I phoned the newspaper and it turns out that the photograph in question happened to be "in a photo database", without any further information (How it popped up there like this is anyone's guess, and I am investigating this question).

The interesting part is that the journalist told me that he had checked the metadata before publication. Having found nothing, he went on saying "all rights reserved". Hence the bit of interesting information:

*we should use metadata to specify licencing and attribution information.*

I'll sleep a little bit less stupid tonight.
