It even goes for freelance journalists having staff reporter names slapped on their work. The stupid thing is it is so obvious, and I bet that more people have looked at backpackdave08's page than looked at any of the papers. My view is simple, if you do the work you should expect credit. Use a CC licence if you want paying, or probably even better attributing. I wonder if any of the organisations who ripped the video and put it in their own player have breached any laws? One for a Twitter question methinks. I agree Craig, it is a mind-set that needs to change. It even goes for freelance journalists having staff reporter names slapped on their work.

It was only a couple of months ago that Shiny Media wrote about Panorama not acknowledging their writers: http://www.shinymedia.com/2008/06/bbc_screws_british_bloggers_ag.html And last month The Guardian couldn't bring themselves to link to the Telegraph after Prince Charles spoke about GM crops: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/aug/13/gmcrops.food So agree with you, but we are trying to break a mind-set that for years has seen newspapers gladly rip each other off and so crediting others is going to be quite a challenge for such organisations.
