Creative Commons (And Virgin) Sued For Teen's Photo Being Used In Ad Campaign

The comments on this post are great, bringing up the point that CC doesn’t supplant copyright law, but just gives permission to use the photo in certain ways. In that case, the guy who posted the photo to flickr screwed up by not getting a model release from the girl and her parents before releasing it on an Attribution-only license. Plus now he’s put it back to “all rights reserved” but from what I understand, once you release something under CC, there is no “undo,” so to speak. Timely because I’ve been thinking of releasing stuff under CC, and I want to fully understand it. Via illtemper Britt.
