They don't payneither do they credit. That's the point.

They don't pay b3tans for using images they've shoppedbecause b3tans have no claim over shopped images which use source images that've been used without permission.
What you're basically asking for is The Sun to identify a b3tan as being the person who broke the law by shopping a copyrighted image. Which they have done, after b3ta was named as the source.
I think you're confusing 'breaking the law' with 'courtesy'. It'd be courteous of The Sun to give credit to whoever shopped the image, but considering the context of the story which is all about the fact that digital artists are shopping amusing pictures of the French losing the olympic bid and showing the pictures to illustrate this, they're hardly trying to make out that they own them.
