British photographer Jason Sheldon has won a settlement of £20,000 (about $32,300 US) over a stolen image of his, after initially being offered less than one percent of that.
The dispute centred around a backstage photo Sheldon captured in July of 2011 of pop star Ke$sha partying with rap duo LMFAO. Daybrook House Promotions grabbed the image and used it in an ad last year for a Nottingham nightclub, reasoning that since the picture had been posted on Tumblr, it must be free to reuse at will.
Sheldon tried to explain that copyright doesn’t work that way and sent the company an invoice for £1,351 ($2,200). In response, Daybrook said they never would have used the image if they had realized it was not free to use, and therefore would pay him only £150 ($242).
Instead of accepting that paltry offer, Sheldon decided to take the case to court, and after several rounds of preliminary judgements that went the photographer’s way, Daybrook agreed to an out-of-court settlement of £20,000 — via redwolf.newsvine.com

Jason Freeny does it again with his latest toy dissection of one of the most nostalgic medical games of our childhood, Operation. In production since 1965, Operation tests a players’ steady hand as they attempt to pick out iconic ailments and anatomical parts without buzzing and setting off Cavity Sam’s red nose. Jason recreated the game board and replaced Cavity Sam’s fake innards with real anatomy. Not such an easy game anymore huh? — via Street Anatomy

Meet Mr Jimmy Niggles, an Aussie with a craft of a grizzly bear. Portrait photographer Mr Elbank, along with the rest of his portraits, shot Jimmy and his beard Barry
bringing out every blemish and freckle with a unique use of lighting. Not only was I impressed with the photography, but I know every girl wants that big grizzly bear to cuddle up to during these winter months. The story behind his beard is that back in 2009, a dear mate of Jimmy’s found a mole on his neck that turned out to be melanoma. A few months later he tragically passed away. Since then, Jimmy’s and his mates started Beard Season and he has been growing his beard ever since. Check out Jimmy’s site This is Beard — via Trendland

Inner Sydney’s Carriageworks art and performance space will double in size, after being granted a 12-month lease by the New South Wales government.
Housed in former rail yards in Redfern, the lease allows for an expansion which will add 5,000 square metres to the existing premises.
The announcement will cement Carriageworks as one of the largest multi-arts centres in Sydney, becoming a strong urban rival to the Sydney Opera House.
Carriageworks director Lisa Havilah says the extra space was desperately needed after two years of strong growth in audience and visitor numbers — via redwolf.newsvine.com
