Flickr Strips Copyright Metadata - James Duncan Davidson
Flickr has a wee problem. While it loves the metadata that is in your photographs when you upload them, merrily adding the camera information to its database, adding keywords as tags, and the like, it then turns around and does something absolutely horrible. It proceeds to strip the most of the metadata out of every resized image it makes from your originally uploaded photograph, including the all important copyright and other IPTC metadata that describe who created the photograph and potentially carry along a caption, title, and keywords for the image.
