I know someone who had her photo used, probably pulled from Flickr, and she
was asked for permission (and given a name check) on the BBC news site.

LUG:

BBC's attempt at explaining why they use photos from Twitter without regard
to copyright issues:

I agree with most of the comments.  You get permission or you don't use the
photo.
