Picture of the back of a silver D3 with Disco3 sticker on page 148 at the Discovery owners club meet. Mr Slimer I think! with the caption "wonder how much that plate cost"
And on page 152 a picture of 3 D3's off road with a Mr 10fc at the front I think. Bad bit is that they have used this as an example of cars driving too close together!Zermatt silver 06 reg.

I was trying to get away from them!!
Not happy at all that:-
a) the photo was used without permission of those in it
and
b) Index numbers are shown
As we all know, Journo's think they have a god-given right to publish anything they want!!

10 - I hate to tell you that if your are on public land or on private land with the owners permission a photographer does not have to ask permission of a subject to take a photograph of them or their (in this case) car. The law is a little more complicated when it comes to children - and yes I know your D3 is like a child to you!Loving the power of the TDV8!

They do it to protect celebs. There are wierd people out there who if they had the numberplates would find the car and stalk the person. They do not have to blur the number plate but do so because they feel it is the right thing to do.Loving the power of the TDV8!

Ha! got 'em - there were kids in the car!!
you've got to admit though, it is a bit daft handing the car thieves and ringers the info they want on a plate!
There are other identity issues as well...

It would have been courteous for them to ask though. I am sure they must look here (I think the picture is from someones Wales Weekend gallery).
Dylan - you do not have to ask permission of the person to publish the photo if said photo was taken on public land or on private land with permission of the landowner. Just look at the money to be made in photographing celeb in this country when they are shopping etc. In other European countries the law differs to protect the subject but at present in the UK the photographer has the upperhand. There is a case in France at the moment - a leading French politician has been photographed on the beech in her bikini, they look like set up shots but the politician is suing the mag that published them, using the strict French privacy laws which basically protect dodgy politicians.
Gareth - if the picture has been used without the copyright holder permission (Usually the photographer) then the copyright holder has every right to sue a magazine that uses the images. This also extends to web sites! There is a huge problem of sites 'nicking' photos from other sites or places like Google images. As the creator of an image one has the right to choose where your pictures are used (Unless copyright has been assigned to a 3rd party)
As a photographer myself the majority of my income comes from stock photographs used in newspapers and mags. All my images dispalyed on my website have watermarking features on them to deter misuse, but it still happens. People scan images from magazines and use the scans. I spend a great deal of time searching for my images that have been used without my authority - I lose thousands each year because of this.Loving the power of the TDV8!

The photo was taken by VC during the Wales weekend, I think if they had taken it from here without prior permission they'd be in the poo... most photo's on here have the index numbers masked anyway 8)
