# Bizarrely,
they've included unshopped, clearly copyrighted pictures (such as the pilots, and the kids looking up the piper's kilt) without any credit whatsoever. I sincerely hope the picture agencies involved string 'em up.

they have some kind of prior-agreed deal with news agancies like Reuters and stuff.

They are porbably also smart enough to know what they can get away with printing and what they can't.
