Last week Matt posted about FotoLibra, a very interesting web service which:

makes money for its Members, by licensing usage rights in their copyright pictures to publishers, then splitting the fee with them like any agency. At the same time, it provides secure digital storage for all those valuable images.

It's a good idea, we have all these high resolution images sitting on our hard disks and who knows, maybe somebody could make a profit with them and we could even get a piece of the action.

But hey... as I just posted, I'm already uploading my pictures on Flickr...

Legally this is not an issue, on Flickr I choose an Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs CC License, which means that while Flickr is managing the NonCommercial usage of my images, FotoLibra could manage the Commercial one.

And since all my pictures on Flickr are available as an RSS feed, FotoLibra could actually pull my images from my Flickr account without forcing me to upload them twice.

Amazing how open standards make integration easy, at least from the technical POV ;-)

The calendar view is one of my favourite Flickr features, it's why I try to post at least a picture per day.
