Ha I didn't know it was you. Yeah, basically, they keep it, but they strip it out of the resized images. So if someone downloads one of the resized versions, the metadata is gone.

Oh I misunderstood, I thought you said FlickR removed that data. I see so it's only removed when users download the photo.

the data for the images is there if it was in the original image - it's on the "meta" page for each image (for both Pro and non-Pro accounts, from what I can see).

i posted a brief update in the article itself, and will update as I know more....

This will be a serious undertaking for FlickR to embed the original data from all of the the uploads. The data is most likely not filed conveniently, if at all. I have the feeling that FlickR will close before taking this on, but it is something that they must do to protect the works and allow the photo data to remain behind the image.

Another option would be to begin this undertaking with all the Pro account first. The Pro accounts are usually the most serious of photographers but I have seen many serious and excellent photographers with free accounts also.

I am so thankful that I passed on my free turkey from the company I work for! I couldn't watch the video because it would make me sick and disturbed for days. I can only imagine. Why do people do these things?
