Independent Copyright Theft

Here is a phone call between the Independent Newspaper and myself as I try to resolve the issue of my photo being published without my permission in this story.

I must add that this is not the first time it has happened. I had to make similar calls regarding photography taken in Iraq.  Once a photo has been kept on file (with or without permission) it is impossible to know if it is being used unless you buy every newspaper every day. It is especially difficult, as in this instance, when a picture has not been captioned at all.

This is lazy journalism, but above all, disrespectful to those supplying you with the content to fill your pages.

I am writing an invoice to them now and will keep you posted..
