New blog post! 🚀
A few months ago a media org demanded a license fee for an open graph image I linked. I paid the fee because I was worried, but it raises serious questions about open graph usage on the web!
This goes through how it went and my thoughts.
@accudio Incidentally, I have a friend who had one of his photos (of a chili-dog) used by a major newspaper website several years back. He wrote them a nice letter asking to be credited and paid. They asked how much. He asked for something like $500 and was promptly paid.
But what you experienced is so very-very different from a power-structure point of view.
