That seems to be the cool thing to do these days, I remember reading a blog few months ago about MS stealing some of that person's photographs and what's worse they didn't just reuse them but they linked to his/her server.

which person?

Like I said it was a couple of months ago, I'll see if I can find the article again.

To add to the OP.

Edit: Digg about what Nothinman is talkin about...!

Wow, that was only last month... I thought it was older than that, my memory must be going. :/

Yeah, that Digg thing is funny but the sony thing is hilarious.

No matter how it went down or who made the mistakes, SOMEONE at sony said, "Hey that looks really cool let's use that one."

Yes that's right. Someone at Sony looked at a PGR image and said, "Hey that looks really cool..."

You can take the image down but you can't undo that moment.
