BBC uses copyright image from Flickr for News 24 | BitterWallet

  • The team in Birmingham recently installed new CSO equipment and before it was fully functional, the engineers had to test the cameras and screens and therefore needed an example image to use as a background.


    An internet search for images of the Birmingham skyline brought up a photo of the city centre (via a website not connected with your Flikr page) and this was then loaded into the system just as an example backdrop to internally test and calibrate the new equipment.

  • Nevertheless, we recognise that your image was used on air and would like to offer you a payment of £75 by way of a usage fee on the understanding that this represents final settlement of the matter. If you are agreeable, I would also ask that your image entitled “bbc news 24″ on Flikr at www.flickr.com/photos/23993287@N00/3120642216 be removed along with the comment “why is the BBC using this copyrighted photo of mine on news items” attached to the “Birmingham Skyline” image at www.flickr.com/photos/23993287@N00/2649168967.
