			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What a slimy mess the &#8220;Here Comes Another Bubble&#8221; is leaving in its wake as it travels all over the Web.</p>
<p>Today, Daryl Lang of <a href="http://www.pdnpulse.com/2007/12/bubble-video-th.html">PDNPulse, a blog from Photo District News</a>, reported that it contacted more photographers whose pictures were used in the popular Web 2.0-mocking video by the San Francisco-based singing group, the Richter Scales.</p>
<p>Four of them responded that they also did not like the use of their work one bit, some objecting to the credit given, others to the non-payment and still others to not being asked for permission to use their photos.</p>
<p>Some objected to all three issues, all of which have to do with &#8220;fair use&#8221; under copyright law.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m totally against the unauthorized use of my image,&#8221; said Ramona Rosales, whose picture of <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com">TechCrunch blogger Michael Arrington</a> was used in the video and who said she was going to ask that the photo be removed, to PDNPulse. &#8220;I was never asked permission nor have I received any compensation for its use; furthermore I don&#8217;t feel it is justified simply because they gave me credit.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-67521"></span></p>
<p>As <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20071218/here-come-another-another-bubble/">BoomTown reported last night here</a>, the Richter Scales posted a new version of its &#8220;Bubble&#8221; video after photographer Lane Hartwell had the first one taken down from YouTube, because they used a picture she took of <a href="http://www.valleywag.com">Valleywag&#8217;s Owen Thomas</a> without her permission or payment.</p>
<p>In Version 1.1, the singing group added a <a href="http://www.richterscales.com/bubble_credits">full list of credits</a>, which were also on the video. They also replaced the Thomas picture with one of me.</p>
<p>(At its start, the video also uses a quote from BoomTown&#8217;s video interview with investor Peter Thiel, which you can watch in <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20071101/kara-visits-founders-funds-peter-thiel/">its entirety here</a>, which BoomTown has since approved of.)</p>
<p>After the second one went up last night, Hartwell said she was still sending the Richter Scales an invoice for the first version of their video, which uses Billy Joel&#8217;s &#8220;We Didn&#8217;t Start the Fire&#8221; as the tune in its parody and has been a viral hit on the Web.</p>
<p>I emailed Rosales for further comment, and will update this post when I hear from her.</p>
<p>About the new comments from other photographers quoted by PDNPulse, the Richter Scales&#8217; Tom Shields said: &#8220;We have not heard from any other copyright owners regarding our video. If we do, we will attempt to reach resolution with them, hopefully in a civil, private conversation and not in the blogosphere. We are not trying to make a point, or looking for a fight, we&#8217;re just a bunch of hobbyists who like to entertain people.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ironically, Arrington&#8211;in a series of not-so-entertaining exchanges with another commenter, blogger Shelley Powers, in the <a href="http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2007/12/15/why-lane-hartwell-is-wrong/">Globe and Mail&#8217;s Mathew Ingram&#8217;s blog</a>&#8211;felt Hartwell was wrong.</p>
<p>So, until this video also gets the copyright hook, here&#8217;s the new version of &#8220;Bubble&#8221;:</p>
<p><object width="380" height="313"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/I6IQ_FOCE6I&#038;rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/I6IQ_FOCE6I&#038;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="380" height="313"></embed></object></p>
<p>[Updated with Richter Scales comment.]</p>
