Funny that I even found out as I live in New Zealand, but had come to Ahmedabad to celebrate Uttarayan and there it was (from my Uttarayan image set). I was pretty reasonable as my photos are registered on CC licenses and said they could compensate by running 2 of my Uttarayan photos with due credit over the following days. They said thank you and yes... but when they didn't follow through I sought payment in cash which they gave. But it reflected badly on them that they had so blantantly used an image without following correct procedures which could have allowed them to run the image for free. Worth noting though is that foreign newspapers don't pay much for photos.... when I shot for the Guardian I got paid around Rs 2000 per image.

Has Twilight Fairy considered taking her story about copyright infringement to a competing newspaper/TV station? A no holds barred battle between the media giants is all that's lacking :) Heard from a friend about the TOI stunt, and not very surprised to be honest.

This is absolutely scary for the newspaper industry as well. Everybody aspires for their articles, photos and art to be published in major newspapers or magazines. With a scenario where their work is being stolen by these papers themselves, papers will rapidly begin to lose not only their credibility but there will also be a loss of creative drive.
