So I followed the link to the village green cricket loony story and at the bottom of the page was a familiar picture; surely the one that was posted on here by someone who had been there and taken the pics themselves. If the Telegraph had pinched the pic (and story; there's nothing in the text they couldn't have worked out from the thread itself) from here without asking the owner, is that a) cheeky, or b) fair enough in this citizen journalism age... You decide.

It's my understanding once uploaded to photo sharing websites you've given up the copyright

Then your understanding is woefully ignorant.

Copyright remains with the holder regardless.

Time for an invoice, £250 a pop IIRC is the going rate in these cases.

d) somebody else took similar pictures which the Telegraph published.

I presume simmy wasn't the only there with a camera, the pictures aren't identical
