    Yeah, I don't think anyone is getting a luggage tag of either anytime soon. It would be nice if they could find a way to remove the purchase option ...

    nothing wrong with those photos in the paper or on the web site. putting them up for sale is just plain stupid.

    No, it's business. Unfortunately, that's the way it is today.

    Echoing others, but nothing wrong with that. My paper caught seven kinds of hell a few years back for a pic at the scene of a car v. train accident. Family shows up while police are still clearing the scene and go mad with grief. Our photog catches them in mid-scream, son-in-law of the deceased trying to hold back his wife. Really emotional pic. I did feel a liilte funny about that one...

    So what if the paper didn't run it and the shots are put on the internet. Then it appears as though the paper isn't doing its job. Something's not right there.
