Some people get a little annoyed when we ask for permission to use pics already in the public domain. It's done for two reasons really; our tools allow for us to search and request pictures through our system, as such it's actually *easier* for us to request permission and have the rights-owner help us use it, as well as just wanting to be sure they approve of the use of that photo in the context of the given story.
