iPhone cases featuring stolen, grisly war photos appear for sale on Amazon. Phone cases featuring stolen images for sale on Amazon.
Updated Dec. 24, 2014 | A vivid image of a lifeless boy being carried away from a bomb blast taken during this year’s Gaza-Israel conflict has somehow made its way to an iPhone case for sale on Amazon. The photo was shot by The New York Times staff photographer Tyler Hicks, who captured an image of a man carrying the boy, one of the four Palestinian children killed by an Israeli bomb attack that day. The photo was featured on the front page of the Times as part of the paper’s coverage of the Gaza conflict.
But Times did not grant these Amazon-authorized sellers permission to use his photo for commercial purposes, much less an iPhone case emblazoned with the casualties of war. And Hicks is not the only photographer seeing his photos appear on products on Amazon. BillGates: Thanks for a great #AMA, @reddit! I’m Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
