And if anyone is interested, here's a link to the wikipage that discloses the license.
I spoke with Broadway Binghamton and they were totally cool and if you watch the banner ad, when my picture comes up (third frame) it says Photo by Laura Roth in the lower right (YAY!).
Nyseg Solutions originally took the picture down, so I dropped my complaint and left it at that. The picture is now, however, back up and I've contacted them again. [UPDATE: as of 4:27 PM, they've taken it down again...?] This time I will be following up with their photo supplier to see where he got it and why he believed it to be free to use in any manner at all.
This update comes after discovering JUST how viral the use of my photo has gone. *sigh * If I had only known, I could have... I dunno... made $5 or something? eh. Here's a listing of other places that are currently using it:
- Greater Binghamton Airport: contacted & not heard back yet [UPDATE:5/6/10 - they contacted & offered to name me! Yay!]
- Live Music in Binghamton FB page: I contacted them and supposedly they'll work with me on it. The Admin was really nice.
- Binghamton Nightlife FB Page: Contacted, but no response yet
- Binghamton Nightlife, RMC: (beware, has a zillion graphics to download) contacted, not heard back yet, and am completely concerned since it states that it's a FreeArt license which is wrong.
- Scranton Alumni Association of Greater Binghamton: contacted & not heard back yet
- Binghamton, NY FB Page: has the photo in the "around town" album... trying to contact
