A few months ago at Northern Voice, I was chatting with Robert Scales and Kris "KK" Krug about Kevin Corazza, a Chicagoan who claims to be a photographer but seems rather to prefer claiming that other people's photos are his own.

This week Corazza sent KK a cease and desist letter because Kris's complaint on his own website about Corazza's apparent photo thievery made a bad impression.

Uh, yeah. Now the Flickr photo community, Digg, and various different bloggers (now including me) have gone all web-medieval on Mr. Corazza. Trying to pass off several talented photographers' work as yours and then sending lawyers after them when they object won't work too well, I'm afraid.
