“With tragedy comes exploitation” form the NY Daily News

After the Boston bombings last week, one man decided to turn a profit by publishing an ebook entitled “Boston Bombing (first photos). Amazon ebook technology makes it very easy for someone to copy pictures off the internet and assemble them into a makeshift format and charge $8.

This is exactly what a man, ironically named Goldstein, decided to do with 60 images from the Associated Press, Getty, and the New York Times. Amazon was notified and removed the book from its catalogue. Bob Carey, a teacher and former National Press Photographers Association president, downloaded the book so that it could serve as an example of the misuse of copyright material for his class.
