(I've just sent the link to this thread to him)

Edit :
I've also sent a polite email to the email addy on the article informing them of the origins of the viral, and please credit plentyofants. Not that they will, of course.

# technically correct
but what's more likely to have happened is that some lurker who watches the front page and the front page only has sent it one of his/her mates (which the fp encourages btw)
this mate has sent it to their mates and so on until it wound up in the suns inbox.
not their fault really, just i do hope they credit now they know. tag your stuff if you're talented would be the moral here (not that zoo or nuts ever care...)

# yes
but the sun has a duty to make every effort to find the creator of the image under the creative commons licence.

seeing as they have delt with people from here, you would have thought that they would have popped in and maybe seen that we had run a compo fully of teh winehouse.

# Nice detectivism.
What a bunch of cunts. I never would've expected that of them.

Oh, wait...

# If they had done it with one of my pictures I wouldn't have minded
As long as they had either credited me, or if they didn't know, say "Anyone who knows who made this or where it came from, please let us know"

That way, they wouldn't seem like fucktards stealing work that obviously deserves credit.

And yes, I couldn't sleep...

I might as well just stay awake, I'm going out in 3 and a half hours

# I'm surprised
Victoria Newton hasn't claimed it as her work. Thats what she does with all the other "news" she digs up
