Article on slashdot: *** All Your Stonehenge Photos Are Belong To England --- An anonymous reader writes: "English Heritage, the organization that runs and manages various historical sites in the UK, such as Stonehenge, has apparently sent letters to various photo sharing and stock photo sites[1] claiming that any photo of Stonehenge that is being sold violates its rights, and only English Heritage can get commercial benefit from such photos.
In fact, they're asking for all money made from such photos, stating: 'all commercial interest to sell images must be directed to English Heritage.'
As one recipient noted, this seems odd, given that English Heritage has only managed Stonehenge 'for 27 of the monument's 4,500 year old history.'" --- [0].
