For those of you that subscribe to my RSS feed, you may have noticed the annoying Copyright blurb at the bottom of each post. It’s there for a reason.

Taken from Lara Jades account of the situation.

Whoever is responsible for this theft should pay dearly. Not only is it theft of a copyrighted image, but the use of a photograph containing a minor to advertise porn is not acceptable.
