...... interesting debate.

A little backstory on Thomas if you don't know of him. As he says on his Flickr profile " I'm trying to publish a library of 1,000,000 hand crafted, lovingly created, individually finished and processed photographs before I die. Mostly I'm focusing on America. " Most of his images are Creative Commons. Right now he is at around 103.000 public images on Flickr.

That's a fine personal choice for him. But I'm not so far from death, and the idea of my grandson reaping what I've planted appeals to me. Not to mention financial assistance for my wife and disabled son. Are we implying that it's good to remove my rights after my death or even before, against my will? That's not sharing. That's taking.
