If you make ships in a bottle, I bet the thing that really makes your heart sink is when you look in, and there at the wheel is Captain Termite.

Apparently Gawker Media’s blog The Consumerist has a nasty habit of grabbing copylefted (or straight up, all rights reserved copyrighted images) from flickr and posting them on their blog without giving credit. The flickr forums are abuzz.

Back at The Consumerist they explain that they’re doing it for the hiphop, yo.

Coming soon to Mulling It Over: I repost Consumerist articles and take author credit. I gotta keep it real.

Update: It wouldn’t be internet drama without the mea culpa on digg.
