My hometown's in the news as a local teacher faced charges that she had sexual relations with a fourteen year old student. The teacher in question is highly photogenic and recently got married, so naturally, her wedding photographer has used some of those pictures on his web site for promotional purposes.
Unfortunately, some news outlets have republished his pictures. (and one radio show, which has since taken them down) The poor guy had to put a warning on his site:
NO MEDIA OUTLET HAS BEEN GIVEN PERMISSION TO USE IMAGES FROM THIS WEBSITE
Just a reminder to media folks... if you're tempted to run a picture that you haven't paid for, better check with your legal department first. Or get permission.
