Copyright is a big area with lots of grey bits. There are certain freedoms for news reporting which don't apply to other types of commercial use. There was a classic example of this, right here on A.R.S.E., when norbs saw one of his images being used in a bank ad without his permission.

In contrast I'm not sure the SMH case actually breaches any laws.

Probably should have pointed out that, whatever the legal position, it doesn't make it ethical...
