But the problem is if you have people happily snaping away how do you know 
where the photo's will end up? There is no way of gaining control in that 
situation.  If it is authorised merchandise at least the Oils do get some 
money. (Which you pointed out Phil).
With the Oils in full tour mode I think someone needs to be employed to look 
after the whole merchandising thing. When people go to the offical site and 
try to do the right thing they cant even get a t-shirt!. They are then 
forced to look elsewhere, and someones pocket gets lined for that.
Jane.
