22nd July 2025I displayed an open graph image and had to pay how much?! That image was owned by them, but used as the Open Graph image for a news article. Open Graph images and copyrightOkay so let's simplify and recap my experience:An organisation licenses an image from an image licensing companyThey add it to the open graph markup of a webpageAnother webpage uses the open graph standard to display said imageImage licensing company then demands a high licensing feeFrankly, this is so fucked up. This image was the open graph image of a front-page story for a major news publication. Re: the clickbait title and imageFinally, I insincerely apologise for the clickbait-y title and accompanying open graph image of this post.
