Story over on The Online Photographer about those fantastic Stephen Mallon photos of the plane recovery out of the river where he’s been delivered a cease and desist from a law firm working for AIG to prevent him from publishing the images on his website.
thanks Tricia

We should all tell AIG and US Airways to go to the local store around the corner and buy a kite and fly it.

Jeez! How many crashes is AIG going to involve itself in?
I was fortunate enough to catch the link of his work when it first went up. Those were some terrific shots.
wait…I thought they were AIU now…you know, to trick us into forgetting AIG
ugh…i really hope he doesn’t just bend over and take it…..Really important he asserts his rights to those photos….
Doesnt the hudson River qualify as public domain? They actually cant do that… at all
thats a load – plus Stephen is footing part of the bill to keep that trainwreck afloat…scumbags…
he better fight this. I hate hearing, seeing and being on the shitty end of the deal for being a photographer and letting some corporation walk all over people. so frustrating
Fight like hell and don’t give up your work….ever.
