That really does take the fucking piss.The things posted here on b3ta are for the public domain, so for it to be released elsewhere isn't technically wrong (after all, these are Internets) but to copyright an image that isn't theirs, without gaining the artist's permission is outright stealing. And let's face it, the cunts at the Sun aren't exactly doing it to make the world a happier place - they're boosting their image and profiting from the resulting higher sales (probably amongst several other money-making methods).
That really does take the piss and if I were the artist I would be seriously having some harsh words and demanding payment along with a written apology. I can't remember who made the image, but I hope they're calling up the Sun and raising merry fucking hell - I would be.
Rant over (for now).
