Fred, The TOI is not non-profit as far as I know. So they cannot use your images and not pay you; unless I am misreading copyright law. They also have to take your explicit permission. venantius

See http://www.flickr.com/photos/twilightfairy/2720464496/ Flickr is for flicking! by Twilight Fairy. One of my pictures got "flicked" from Flickr and got published in a supplement of TOI's called, "what's hot", dated 18th July'08. I happened to take a look at this supplement very much by chance. I have no idea, how many such images are being used on a daily basis - they could be anyones. On contacting the editor, I was told that it is common practice to "use" free images from the net! Plagiarism in its full glory.
