Yesterday I wrote about wedding photographers stealing pictures from other photographers and use it as their own.  Today, in the news is the wedding photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Pitt & Jolie have donated their wedding photos exclusively to Getty Images and the proceeds of the sale will be donated to Maddox: Jolie-Pitt Foundation. It is estimated that these images will be worth around USD2.0 million.
