AFP's Photo Woes Continue

So photographers who fear that Ad agencies, designers, other photographers, magazine publishers and college kids doing their term papers now have to worry that News agencies will not only rip the image off, they will try to sell it through stock agencies as their own.

If you think that this is an anomaly, I submit that we are now only getting an insight into it because of the internet and the vast amount of citizen editors.
Confederate Yankee: Yet Again: AFP's Photo Woes Continue: "Fresh off of being caught trying to pass off unfired civilian ammunition as evidence of soldiers shooting into the home of an elderly Iraqi woman, the French news agency Agence France-Presse (AFP) has been caught once again in a photography scandal involving the U.S. military, this time misidentifying a U.S. military photo taken by a member of the 173rd Airborne in Afghanistan last month as one of their own."
