Seems UK papers realise this too (http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2013/jan/16/twitter-pictures-london-helicopter-crash-copyright) and are willing to pay for pictures they use from Twitter.

Petition against the recent new law (http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/49422) that means you're pictures are no longer yours (see here (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/04/29/err_act_landgrab/) for details).

HA given with one hand and taken with the other!
Or rather scary in its self, that only way that others will keep their hands off, is if its tagged to a large 'presence' like Twitter, where its easy to find who that person is. As they have an account, so therefore an ip that can be tracked to its location, as well as other details.
Same reason why not getting court cases of 'twitterTrolls' *sigh*
