$1.2M the amount that the wire services AFP and Getty Images will have to pay Haitian freelance photographer Daniel Morel after swiping a photo from his Twitter page and putting it on the wire. Morel, who covered the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake, then saw that photo show up on a number of front pages around the world, most notably The Washington Post, and on TV networks such as CNN. What this means for you: If you swipe a pic off social media and put it in a newspaper, people can sue you—and win.
