Hmm, can you say "bury head in sand"? How about some

Or, even, just a decision by Earle whose arse is on the

calm down, calm down, it's only a commercial... oh, anyway.

A little more discussion from others would be appreciated. We can have a two-way debate, but I suggest reference to copyright law is made before ayone does anything. I don't have your previous email to hand, but hyperlinks are indeed what the internet is for, but link to the page, not to the image. Using inline images without permission in my mind is theft of intellectual property as well as bandwidth; both have value.

Anyone else?

That was my original take on this, especially as the site hosting the Millennium Bridge/St Paul's picture has a copyright notice specifically asking us not to do this.
