Thanks for all the insights guys....! I also saw that thing on copyright saying that "reporting news" is exempt (after posting it). Im thinking the best thing to do would be to contact flickr/yahoo and go from there? Im not one for "sueing" and don't want to be accused of bagging the media when we havn't obtained legal advice about whether they have really done anything wrong (as they may be allowed to do this, without checking legal advice, we probably won't know).

Wouldn't it be a nice bonus for climbers though, to receive a payment for what they have done and donate it back to the climbing community/re-bolting fund to prevent further injuries or to donate it to Nick's memorial. I don't care about the money for the photo myself. We are just amateur photographers really (though Tim has sold some photos to Rock Mag), but definately not enough to say we make a huge profit from it. But, I just think it would have been nice that our flickr account (Tim- the photographer) was credited and that they asked our permission first.

Dont know- any other ideas?
