As far as FHM goes, this doesn't surprise me. I had a shot of a model published online by FHM and I didnt' find out about it until the shot had probably 200 million views or so. The picture actually won a contest that the girl had submitted the image for.

When someone told me my shot was on FHM I contacted them and said WTF are you doing, you don't have a right to publish that picture????. They said that the model gave them rights to it.... to which I said... and who gave them to her?

I threatened a copyright suit, etc etc... to which I learned infringment cases can run in th range of 250K or so to prosecute... to whit I said.. how bout you put that picture back up with my copyright info and contact info???

They don't care.. they know you won't sue them. They won't steal from someone that has money (i.e. playboy, maxim, etc).. but they don't give a shit about a little guy... you don't have the money to do anything about it.

Regarding publishing a picture of a 14 year old. Hey... they got permission from the photographer... that's all they care about. Remember the old saying.. it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission? There ya go.
