This one is for all of our copyright lawyers:
I got an e-mail today from Yahoo High Command that one of the photos in my photostream was removed due to copyright infringement. The image in question is a press shot of the unibody Macbook Pro laptops Apple introduced last June.
I used the image in my report of the press release last June. The press release and the image were sent to me by Apple's PR group for use on my website. Due to storage restrictions on my server I often use flickr to host images for my blog articles.
For the record, I have not been sued. The image was redacted from my photostream and I was sent a nasty-gram from Yahoo High Command saying that if I get many more NOI's they will cancel my account without warning. I have only gotten one NOI.
I never claimed the image was mine and I was using it for it's intended purpose. Am I wrong here, or has Yahoo overstepped it's boundaries?
