I agree that we should not go in guns blazing, if you notice I gave them an option...and thankfully they quickly removed the image..
Here is a little story to show you how persuasive the attitiude is. I did an art show a couple of months ago and have a number of HDR images on display. A local photojournalist stopped by who was covering the event and we got to talking shop (and my HDR(s))..He has had larger (older) papers lift images from their site and use them for a story without giving proper credit..These are papers that have been in business for a long time and should know better...he told me he has had to call them on it 1 to many times...
The end result is no different then the facebook issue..using an image without first gaining permission and not even bothering crediting the correct person..
I know its been mentioned on here before...but the only way to (hopefully) guarantee credit is to watermark your images if you post them online..
