Consumerist Steals Picture From Josh Bancroft

January 29, 2007 |

Out of all blogs out there, the Consumerist would be the last one I would have suspected of stealing a Creative Commons licensed photo from a fellow blogger, but that’s exactly what happened to my fellow Portlander, Josh Bancroft of Tinyscreenfuls.com today. The post is on Verizon’s FiOS phone service being potentially interrupted when the power goes out and I gather Josh took a picture of his FiOS box and posted it on Flickr. Josh even left them a nice comment, but the post is still up without attribution and Josh’s photo in place. Shame on you Consumerist!

Update: In the comments, Josh reports that the photo now has an attribution. Now I can love you again, Consumerist.

    They added a photo credit after I emailed them. I’ve updated my post accordingly. :-)
