Greetings to All,

I noticed this item on the NYTimes (Online) Technology page for
Friday, October 5, 2007.  

I'm sure it will be of interest. 

Looking forward to your comments.

Thanks for the idea !
I have a really grotty assignment to do on Monday I've been putting off all this week. 

Unfortunately I can't find any pictures on Flickr that are suitable 

I'm gonna have to take my own    

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Anyone posting an image of an "identifiable" person on the web without that person's WRITTEN permission is asking for trouble.
The noted incident is not a surprise and it merely confirms the dangers associated with privacy laws.
What does surprise me is that Virgin would use the images without doing more research...

I have previously posted links ( here and in the copyright forum) to case law regarding this situation for the countries of Canada and France.  These links are a MUST read for anyone planning to post such images on the web.....the consequences and penalties of posting such images are quite severe.

In youth, we learn....with age, we understand.
