Why can't I save pictures in Flickr of my OWN?

How do I save pictures from Flickr?

  • How do I save pictures from Flickr.com? Most of the time when I try, it says "spaceball" under the saved name. Then when I go to look at the photograph in my documents it's just a white space. How do I save photos correctly?

  • Answer:

    You dont. The photos on flickr belong to the photographer. They do not want you to take them. Flickr is a hosting site, not a "free use" stock photo site. You can try to contact the copyright holder of the photo, and ask nicely if you can use a photo, or even negotiate some sort of use of the photo. They may sell you a print. But, its kinda like having your car in your driveway. Someone may try to take it, but that doesnt mean its right if they can some how get away with it.
