Nice Job. I'm sure you could go on and on about this topic! I know I could! I haven't seen this much activity around one his stories in recent memory. He's probably loving it. He is very passionate about this issue, but you clearly pointed out the reason's he needs to get over it. Did you post this on SM yet? I hope you did!

I did, though it posted funny, with the wrong headline and the preview text formatted weirdly. Ironically, even though I would be fine posting this entire article to S|M I can only post a little bit of it. I sent a tweet to Jason asking him why I couldn't at least edit the title, but he hasn't gotten back to me. Until then it is up here - http://www.socialmedian.com/story/1932298/read-...

FYI - *noncommercial* shareAlike attribution is enough to prevent Wikipedia's use, or use unauthorized by creator.
Then, you can go ahead at your discretion and allow commercial use on a case-by-case. (Wikipedia can be re-packaged and sold for a profit)
BTW - Attribution on the #1 website worldwide is probably in the long run more valuable than any single piece of content.
Also, just because someone used a photo doesn't mean it's a work of art, or that it doesn't exist merely because of a privilege of place or circumstance.
