Blog Entry 2.1

Flickr is a website that allows its users to upload and share photos with other users. Users may upload and share photos with everyone or they may set them to private so only certain people can view their photos. Flickr is a free website to its users so the revenue that is earned from it comes from placed ads by Yahoo and any photographers that post photos on Flickr and may want to sell them. Copyright protection is also provided on Flickr to all of its not-for-profit users and photographers can purchase copyright protection. Flickr is allowed to provide these services because it is a free service that protects its users on the site and provides copyrights to the photos that are uploaded.
