I also sent them thisYour report on 'What the Papers Say' for the 23 November (news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/programmes/what_the_papers_say/html/default.stm) states that the so-called Argentinian Handbags photograph was created by the Daily Mirror. This is in fact incorrect, as the Mirror plagarised this picture from the B3ta messageboard, the original post of which can be found here (www.b3ta.com/board/archive/1386/).
The person who actually created the image was credited on the page as De Phanne @kotnet.absurd.
The Daily Mirror have copyrighted a picture that they did not originally create and the BBC is complicit in this image theft by reproducing the image without researching its origins.

Lets get something straight...The Mirror has not copyrighted anybody's image. They ripped off the Argentinian picture from the internet and have not claimed copyright for themselves. The fact that the BBC website claims that copyright is owned by The Mirror does not mean that the Mirror claims this.
Anyway, the images creator was ripping off the copyright of the person who took the picture... and almost every single picture posted on b3ta evah is ripping off somebody elses copyright.
So before you all go off insisting on your legal rights, bear in mind that without the law turning a blind eye to your activities this website would not exist.
