The thing isthe people who shopped those pics probably didn't give any credit to their original source, so they have no right to complain about not getting credit themselves.

I would guessthey 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.
Failing that, they will have more legal muscle than your average person off the street anyway - copyright is only any use if you can prove it in court.

I agreeI don't see what the fuss is about. I'd be pretty pleased to see a pic in the paper, regardless whether it was the mail or not.

ExactlyI have noticed recently that the people who had pictures 'stolen' by the papers were actually quite happy about it.
