The sad thing is if they played nice, Flickr photographers would probably be happy to have their photos in the newspaper, with credit. They seem to want to learn the lesson the hard way.

The newspaper didn't even mention CC in their excuses, apparently they just completely disregard ownership of things once they are online (“then you should've posted it to to a site where it couldn't be downloaded”). Hmmm, is it me, or is the El Pais site one from which photos can be downloaded? I guess we can use their photos for whatever we want.

It stems largely from misconceptions about copyright itself and/or Creative Commons. Though one would expect better of a newspaper or magazine, that isn't always the case. I hope this matter is resolved quickly and to everyone's satisfaction, this time of abuse can not go unchallenged... Sadly, this type of situation is all too common.
