The IOC seems to be essentially clueless about how free licenses work, both from a legal and a social standpoint. There’s no putting this genie back in the bottle, and trying to do so (for example, going after downstream users who aren’t bound to any ticket terms, or worse, harassing Giles further) would be a PR nightmare for them.

With the threat of global warming we cannot afford such flagrant displays of excess and overconsumption. The best way to avoid 300,000 tons of emissions is for people to simply stay at home.

as you can see in the full licence text, the licence keeps intact even if the licensor chooses a different license term…

and everybody who downloaded the works under creative commons can spread them under creative commons. see the fulltext:

Their stance seems very much out of order to me. However, you have started the ball rolling in other ways by getting this discussion started.

I have directed Amateur Photographer magazine here in the UK onto this story. With London 2012 on the horizon, UK readers are going to be very interested in this.

I have had good dealings with AP magazine in the past and they have covered many stories that I have directed them to.
