Things I learned today:

Mail online pay £25 per standard photo - less if it's from an agency.

And nothing at all for stealing your Facebook photos

I think you'll find it's "reporting with a sense of immediacy", not "stealing". Dacre and his homies are down with the kids.

But a bit more than that if it's in the dead tree version too.

They once nicked two of my pics that I had supplied (free) to my local rag. I rang their picture desk, pointed out that they were mine, and they eventually coughed up a couple of hundred quid.

It makes a difference how far into the paper they're used (the nearer the front, the more they're worth), and also the size they print them.

I used to work with someone who acted for a person who was once notoriously connected with a big scandal and who posed for a picture which has become iconic. People constantly use it without asking permission, and both the picture subject and the solicitor had (and presumably still have) quite a nice regular income from writing off to demand payment.
