But that's because what you (and I) do falls under the description of
news coverage, which has rather less restrictions.  The rules differ
somewhat from country to country, but freedom of information covers
a multitude of sins.

Trying to use an image from that news coverage for commercial purposes,
though (even something as straightforward as selling a single print to
an individual) means you have to play by a different set of rules.
