Picture: Linked PressUpdate: Flickr is recovering the photographs and it is offering the bad guy absolutely free Pro membership until eventually 2036.
Update two: Yahoo asks us to add this statement: "Yahoo! is happy to share that the Flickr crew has fully restored a member’s account that was mistakenly deleted yesterday. We regret the human error that led to the mistake and have worked hard to rectify the situation,
Microsoft Office 2007 Pro Activation Key, including reloading the entire photo portfolio and providing the member with 25 years of free of charge Flickr Pro membership. Flickr takes the trust of our members very seriously and we appreciate the patience shown by this member and our community. Flickr will also soon roll out functionality that will allow us to restore deleted accounts more easily in the future."

This is awful. Flickr accidentally deleted the entire account of one its users -- a paying, Pro user no less --,
Windows 7 Starter Serial, removing 4 years worth of pictures. What happened is the user reported another user for lifting his copyrighted pictures and Flickr accidentally deleted his account instead of the infringing user's.
Whoops.
What about backups?
Apparently there aren't any. The pictures are gone.
Flickr apologized profusely and offered him four years of totally free Pro memberships but that's hardly much of a consolation. We want to be even-handed and find Yahoo an excuse or a mitigating factor but can't think of any.
Here's the blog post explaining the situation (be warned that the headline has an F word in it,
Windows 7 Upgrade Key, which is hardly surprising) and more details from the Observer.
