Does Creative Commons Protect you as a buyer of Content?

Apparently not. About the image reported today that Virgin Mobile Australia got burned when their Ad Agency, Host, used a not-model-released image in its nationwide print campaign. Host failed to realize that the license covers the photographer’s copyright, but not necessarily the people in the pictures. A very important detail that shouldn't be overlooked.

It's believed Host used the image becuase they thought they were protected under a Creative Commons license. Not so fast said the people depicted in the images.
