And NG has been sued by photographers for publishing their photos on 
the DVD without permission.

This decision has been appealed with support from ASMP and is up 
before the courts again.

PS:  National Geographic used a photo of mine on the internet without 
permission.  I challenged them, through my stock agency, and they 
paid me for past internet usage, conditional on removing the 
photo.  It's been over a year and the photo is still up on their site.
