Urgent Passport Photo

We would all look much more dashing in our passport or other ID photos if we could pose like this:


The "model" is Akshay Kumar, for non-Bollywood fans he's a famous actor, and probably completely unaware that he's being used to advertise passport photo services.    Image theft is terribly common and I went to the bother of getting a copy of the original from a website which offered free downloads.  I'm confused whether I stole the image or not.


I'm also not sure whether I've broken any copyright laws by taking a picture of a stolen picture but I would dearly love to pose for official identification pictures in shades, with my collar up and a fabulous fake background.

Not Winnie the Pooh

Pooh Pencil Case

I do love a bit of copyright violation and when I saw this I grinned like a loonie and wanted to rush out to the nearest stationery shop to snag my own.

OK, I'm slightly concerned about having "wine", "violation" and "pooh" in the same posting as they sound suspiciously spamalicious but I need to share.
