# Technically I can
Parody is fair-use defense against use of copyright material, which is what I've done.

They've taken something that someone else has made and used it without permission.

# if you say so! ;)
EDIT: The Sun 'borrowed' one of my pics a while ago without credit. I emailed them and never got anything back.

# Which one?
You could always revenge them by using the ginger mitchell-brother-beating minge of an editor in one of your pics

# Oh no, this is the first time I've made anything funny enough to be used without permission
I meant in a more general sense. (It's the American side, I think).

# with all due fluffy respect, if you threatened to sue them over a picture that was made from a screen grab from their own site, they would probably have a bit of a laugh about it

# You've never seen me angry
Have you???

Edit: But yes, you're probably right, and I'm not going to go down that route anyway. :)

# Keep trying
I think it is reasonable to claim copyright on your work - the words are yours. I get £200 for an article and I'm shite.

# It's not to claim copyright or anything
I want them to run my press release, and this is a better way in than to say 'Hello, you don't know who the hell I am' which is what I've been doing previously.
