A few months ago, the reactionary British press (The Daily Mail and The Daily Telegraph to be precise) got hold of some really inconclusive pictures of Kate Middleton ‘allegedly’ talking on a mobile phone while driving. At some point, we talked here about those pictures, and said that they were, well, inconclusive.

In any case, during our discussion of the (lack of) merit within the articles the Daily Mail and the Telegraph based upon those photographs, we included 2 links to the photos – see the original post here – to which we received a stern warning about our copyright infringement. Without wishing to suggest I know anything about anything at all – such a statement is quite ludicrous – I fail to see how linking to someone’s image files is copying said file.

In any case, we removed the links, and the huge flow of traffic which was pouring from our mighty website to the Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph promptly was halted (a good thing?) – however, I decided to do some “mockups” or “artists impressions” of the images (see them in context here), I use the term ‘artist’ in its loosest possible sense: in that I mean the impression of one who has a computer with Paint installed, and a barely functioning mouse-hand.

The funny thing is, THOSE images are now top of a Google image search for “Kate Middleton Mobile Phone” and other related searches – try it yourself! Or, just look at the picture I made below of the momentous occasion:
