Great, then the magazines should use one of the 300,000, not his. His cost money to use, and that's the way it is.

Several of those 300k are mine, by the way, and they are indeed free to use, assuming I am credited as required by the license. Of course, there are countless stories of magazines ignoring even this very simple requirement.

I should add- Making my pics CC on flickr has resulted in a number of people using them and crediting me properly, from blogs to small magazines.

One is even in use by a state park on one of their signs, which is somehow particularly gratifying.

I really need to go take a pic of that sign.
