Re: [LM_NET] LM_NET: GEN: World Press Photo

Great site, Sybil.

Just a little caveat, folks.
Just because the archive is "free" doesn't mean you can copy the photos
freely. The photos are still under copyright and permission would need to be
obtained to use them depending on the context (fair use, etc.).
