We have received an email today regarding the use of copyright images and have taken steps to remove the image from view and let the poster of the image know about it.
This is a general reminder to all of our users that the use of copyright images such as action shots, headshots or other images - often marked with a watermark - is not permitted unless the photographer has given permission or the photograph is deemed or listed as open source. If posting a media article, then it is appropriate to have a small teaser quote with a link to the original source so users can view it on the original website.
