When I first heard about the Getty/Flickr tie up I went through and changed the licences on all my creative commons photos to add the non-commercial stipulation.
Which I discovered this week hasn't stopped at least one commercial organisation using an image of mine on their website.
The Dundee based Scottish daily newspaper The Courier published this article (at least on the website - no idea if it was in the actual paper) with my image at the head. They attributed the photo to me (my flickr username is the same as here) but at no point have they contacted me to ask if they can use the image in a commercial context. I think they've basically done a creative commons search for a relevant image and haven't actually bothered to see if it allows commercial usage or not.
I should really contact them about it, but if I do I don't expect anything to come out of it.
