@lanehartwell, let me have a few days to get educated on these issues. though i’m sure there’s no obvious answer.

Dave will use the Richter Scales argument for copyright infringement: he’s not making any money and Flickr is giving him the photos. Go after Flickr. Lane already pulled (or blocked all her content anyway).

This will be another Food Fight, I wager.

@davewiner: perhaps you could just respect those with ARR on their images and just opt them out. Isn’t that why CC licenses were invented?

Her request my be possible if the RSS feed has metadata that discloses the “All Rights Reserved” status of the image.

Let’s see how Dave responds… There’s only ONE Dave on this “product” and he’s got hundreds of new users to support. It’s going to get ugly. He can’t change RSS, it’s frozen and Flickr controls what’s in the feed… yada, yada.

1. Of long duration; continuing: chronic money problems.
2. Lasting for a long period of time or marked by frequent recurrence, as certain diseases: chronic colitis.
3. Subject to a habit or pattern of behavior for a long time: a chronic liar.

I’ll use it in a sentence:

Dave Winer is a chronic asshole.

It doesn’t mean he’s a sick asshole. It means he’s had a habit of being an asshole for a long time. Capice?

Dave practicing “reverse-vendor relationship management” (rVRM) by using comments to fix reviews of his new “product” that bother him.

The new review should say something about Dave bringing the internet to your HDTV… as long as you have a computer with internet (wireless or wired), an HDMI output option and running OS X.

It’s another UserLand “OPML Editor” script.

Having a Flickr account is also required.

It does not require batteries.

Google Screensaver does something similar for PC’s too (use RSS feeds to get fresh images).
