CNN Photo Usage Update

So I went ahead and emailed CNN through their online form to request proper credit for my photo, and I actually received a response!

I was so pleased with the fast response, but I still do not see any credit on the photo or the video description. I sent Jo another email this afternoon to let him/her know, but no response yet. We'll see where this goes.

Update: Just got another e-mail from Jo. Apparently the video was too old for them to go back and edit with credit to me, but they went ahead and expired it so it will no longer play. At least something was done, and glad this is over with!

What's up, CNN?

CNN took the liberty of using my photo twice in the above segment without contacting me for permission or crediting me. You guys all know that THAT cupcake is definitely MY rainbow cupcake! I'm flattered that they thought the cupcake was good enough to use in the segment, but upset that I couldn't even get my name in the corner or an email letting me know they were using it. I know the photo is EVERYWHERE online (comes up #2 in a Google image search for "rainbow cupcake"), but it's not that hard to find the original owner of internet content. I sent them an email asking for the issue to be resolved, so I'll let y'all know how it turns out.
