Flickr live via Satellite
Ever wished you could just upload your photos to Flickr and your website would just add them to your photo gallery automatically? With Satellite you can do just that, and the design is crisp and smooth. You’ll need a Flickr account, a webserver with PHP 4 and your Flickr API key (request it if you don’t have one already) to get this up and running.
You can see it up and running (including the awesome tag cloud) on Photography by Kat Dunbar.

Neat, but I don’t upload anything that’s not watermarked or HiRes to Flickr and I already use a couple of the Flickr widgets on the various websites where I show my photos, so I don’t think I’d use it.
I think I’d rather host my good images on my own website and access them directly that way. The problem when you upload photos to Flickr is that Flickr (and now Getty Images apparently) has access to them, and I’d rather not give out access to my “good” material.
Lately a lot of these image hosting services have been popping phrases like, “By submitting, uploading, posting or displaying Content on or through [Service], you hereby grant [Service] (and its successors and assigns) a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable licence under your copyrights…” into their Terms of Service agreements.
So be very careful about what you submit where or you may find someone stealing what you own.
Herne, flickr are only authorizing images for use with Getty that have a CC licence that is share and share alike. So basically, you put a more restrictive CC licence on your flikr images then they will not end up on Getty. So it really is up to the content owner to make the right decisions about the licence they have on their flickr images.
The other thing is that as soon as they are online there is always the risk that they will be stolen, leached or otherwise used in a way that your don’t want them to be. However, most decent servers these days have “leeching” protection which is good. Including ours: BlueHost. But nothing is going to protect you from ppl making scrn shots.
But you make a good point about submitting any material to any service, be it written, video or in images.
So sure keep it on your own server. But if you don’t want it being stolen or have people access your “good” material - you can always rig up the access so that you could run something like Satellite but so that only you see it
Great find though Cait, I was really impressed. The fact that you can run a really nice image gallery on your own server but having the flexibility of storing the images on flickr is kick arse. Nice work

I had a look at the Getty/Flickr thing;
Participation is optional and will be limited to Flickr photographers who have been invited by Getty. They will be offered a Getty contract with the same terms that apply to professional contributors. Getty will make sure legal issues such as model releases are in order and offer the images at prices comparable to Getty’s traditional stock collections. Getty licenses range from $49 to thousands of dollars.
As it does with professional photographers, Getty will keep most of the licensing fees. Flickr collection images will be offered under three licensing models: royalty-free (where photographers get 20 percent), rights-managed (where photographers get 30 or 40 percent) or rights-ready (where rates vary).

These rates are pretty crappy, but then Getty also owns iStockPhoto which also pays some pretty crappy rates.
In any case, as I mentioned before, anyone that posts their own images online should learn how to protect them with watermarks and copyright notices. I find it sad that so many major companies these days are taking images that they KNOW are copyright and using them for things like advertising or CD covers, hoping that the owner doesn’t know. And if they owner does find out they either blame a third-party “Graphic Design” firm, say “Oops, sorry, here’s a token amount of cash” or say “Too bad, so sad, you didn’t mark it copyright and register it.”
Not to mention that the whole “registering a copyright” thing is such a scam in the US–they charge you something like $40 to register an image–you fill out a form, burn the image to CD and mail it to them and then they say it could take up to SIX MONTHS for them to get around to putting it in their database. And even then you’re not protected 100% because a company can claim that they “didn’t know it was copyright” and you can only sue for “average use price.”
So basically they’re making it legal to steal copyright material, and they don’t have to pay anything unless you catch them. (This is a pet peeve of mine.)
