i posted a bit further in detail on 4rthur, they told me to send in any more if i wanted to for the same price, but i really hate the daily sport even before this so i don't think i will/

# yep,
apparently if i want to press legal action they said i could.

# and you won't
that's what they're counting on

accepting this payment sets a bad precedent and stops you from taking legal action... but that's just my opinion

# They're probably aware you're unlikely to go for that course of action.
Reply, say OK then, my lawyers will be in touch, unless you pay me £XXX.99 for the picture, and the same for any future uses of your work.

Call the bluff, they may up the cost they're willing to dish out rather than pay a lawyer exccessively large amounts of cash for the sake of what to them is a few quid.

check with citizens advice, they're usually pretty handy with stuff like that.

# I wish
I was a whizzy super-lawyer with time on my hands, I'd definitely take this on.

This sort of thing really makes me angry...
