Links to photographs that people have pulled from my Flickr photostream and attributed to me.  (Practically everything I post has a Creative Commons license, so this is completely fine.)

Oh no! One of the links on that page leads right back to this one! I'm caught in an infinite Internet feedback loop!

If you'd paid more attention in class, you might have understood the risks of depth-first traversal!

That's 'cuz yours are all (or mostly) licensed "all rights reserved." :-) Flickr makes it so easy to search for CC-licensed photos that a lot of people seem to routinely just search that photo pool for CC-BY or CC-BY-SA-licensed images that they can attach to a blog or a news posting or whatever.

I am extremely confident that if you uploaded pictures with the Creative Commons "attribution" license that the net would be FLOODED with "photo by coralinetheblue" credits.

Let's see ... you're now in English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Dutch and Japanese. Did I miss any?

I am really freaked out by how far around the world my hands (and most of my legal signature) seem to have gotten.
