An interesting thread at Slashdot:

"I recently posted a few Creative Commons licensed photographs from Flickr on
one of my websites. I later noticed that one of the photographers had
retroactively switched all of his photos from the Creative Commons license to
an 'All Right Reserved' notice. When I saw this I went ahead and removed his
photo (even though I understand that CC licenses are perpetual unless
violated), but this begs the question: How does one prove one obtained a work
under a Creative Commons license, should there ever be a dispute between a
creator and the licensee? Is a simple screenshot of the webpage where it was
offered proof enough? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated."
