Just to clarify, not so much theft from a blogger as theft from a photojournalist and blogger. i.e. the photographs were published by media outlets and posted on my blog with the appropriate credit for myself and if relevant, the publication.
Obviously, I am happy for other blogs to republish that material with the appropriate credit and as identified under the Creative Commons license. However, I am not at all impressed that two media outlets took the images without requesting permission, and then didn’t credit their use.
It’s unacceptable.
