An anonymous reader writes "A Texas family has sued Creative Commons after their teenaged daughter's photo was used in an ad campaign for Virgin Mobile Australia. The photo had been taken by the girl's youth counselor, who put it on Flickr, and chose a CC Attribution license, which allows for commercial use. Virgin did, in fact, attribute the photo to the photographer, fulfilling the terms of the license, but the family is still suing Virgin Mobile Australia and Creative Commons. Since the guy chose the CC license, it's difficult to see how they can now sue CC." Link to Original Source

You can't learn too soon that the most useful thing about a principle
is that it can always be sacrificed to expediency.
