Flickr: Mein Fazit
Gerade habe ich diesen Beitrag ins Flickr Hilfe Forum gestellt um meine Gedanken zusammenzufassen und abzuschliessen:

It takes your 2 two days for this answer?. Two days to admit that you misinterpreted german law and overreact. Two days to admit you don't understand that this law applies to porn - hard porn - not to bikini beauties, burning man pics and artistic nudity.
Content, that violates german law violates your own terms of service, also.
So, why chicken out instead of getting a german lawyer who understand this law?
As jensscholz pointed out, you have violated german law anyway by changing terms of service without notification to your users and by blocking us from a service we have paid for.
Please read this ( http://www.webhafen.de/quantenfluse/2007/06/13/flickr-und-die-zensur/ ) article. If you can't read german, I'm sure Petra will translate it for you.
And read this ( http://blog.koehntopp.de/archives/1722-flickr-gone.html ) article too. It say what I am thinking right now.
Flickr is on the wrong road. Maybe because they are gagged by Yahoo officials. maybe it is the big mother that is ruining this communitiy because they fear lawsuits, and loss of money more than unhappy customers. But three cases of censorship, and overreaction by the staff are three to much. you are not longer those young, open, fair minded company. you're gagged and leashed by lawyers, shareholders and big bosses.
Two or three weeks ago I was a really happy and active customer. I wanted to keep my flickr account long - possible lifelong - and paid. I found new friends, great artists, great joy, great people. I even founded a group for the readers of our book. But now I think things won't change. A hatched fledgling can't slip back into the egg.
In Web 2.0 there isn't a lifelong friendship with a company. This is my lesson.
What your lesson is? Maybe that crappy decisions have their price. Or that a good idea can become a faceless company which administers a lot but faceless customers. You've lost contact.

Maybe Flickr was thinking.. 'Just this four small countries.. can't hurt the whole thing..'.
So.. this might be a lesson in economic geography, also.

Hallo... Ich hab' auch versucht, meine Ideen als "offenen Brief" in den Flickr-Foren unterzubringen, wenngleich etwas, nun, "allgemeiner". Antworten bekommt man dort, indes, keine:

Dennoch ein sehr wichtiger und guter Brief. Danke das du ihn geschrieben hast.

Naja, mal sehen, ob's viel bringt... zumindest hat man das "locked" relativ schnell wieder weggenommen... Aber die Tatsache, daß die Anti-Zensur-Bilder konsequent aus "Explore" verbannt zu werden scheinen, macht die Sache nicht wirklich besser...
Vielleicht sollte man doch perspektivisch zu 23hq.com wechseln, schon des Namens wegen...
Ich denke vielen Pro Account Inhabern ist es nun so ergangen. Von einem Tag auf den anderen - und natürlich ohne dass es angekündigt wird - dieser Zustand.
Abartig wie Yahoo! flickr so zu Grunde richten konnte.
