Photo theft by Wijeya Newspapers Pvt Ltd.
This is related to my previous post titled "Photo theft by The Sunday Times". The scope just got much wider. The theft is not just by the Sunday Times, but by the whole Wijeya Newspapers group.
I just found out they are using the same image for the banner of the 'order online' page selling all print publications produced by Wijeya Newspapers.

Through this site, they sell print editions all over the world. They also have a rate card with pricing. For example, a 1 year print edition subscription for The Sunday Times to a US address is US$249.
What earlier started out as a case of an editor browsing the net looking to find a photo to illustrate an article have turned out to be a full scale corporate theft where they blatantly use my photo without consent and payment for a clearly commercial purpose.

sue sue sue their pants off.....dirty bastards they think they can get away with anything.
A huge news paper chain should know better.
As of Friday 23 May, my photo had been removed from the 'Beneath the Lanterns' article on online edition but it still remains as the banner of the 'Order online' page.
Please see the original post for an update of the situation as I added a number of edits and screen captures.
As of Tuesday 27 May, the banner on the 'order online' page of Wijeya Newspapers has been replaced by a different image.
