Are they the previous holders of the Guinness world record ("forgetting" to update their claims) or are they just making it up? I didn't actually try to register but I can't find any information on licensing; interesting that they felt compelled to add a "we'll donate to a charity" incentive. They have 5200 photos and and 2700 uploaders so far.
