has yahoo stolen a pic of forums front page

B

http://uk.biz.yahoo.com/student/ notice (remember few months back someone spoke of the pic with a girl looking somewhat like courtney love - not me tho)

compare said courtney love picture with boy and laptop to the same pic on
http://www.postgraduateforum.com/index.asp

Is this a rip off or use of findaphds pics.

is this legal and/or fair

C

Yeah, it is the same image. But it has probably been bought by Yahoo and this forum from a private company/ image library. Maybe?

T

yeah I imagine its a generic image that comes from an image library.

The company I used to work for used to buy images and the competitor companies often had the same ones on their promotional material.

We're too mean to pay for exclusive image rights - evidently so are Yahoo.

Poor girl - on here she has a PhD, but on yahoo she's obviously failed her A Levels and is trying to get into Belford through Clearing

How the mighty are fallen...

She's done ok though - she was in the first 3 series of 24 as the bouncing Kim Bauer before she decided to become a student.
