Remember last month's massive moon, the one that dazzled onlookers on December 12? That moon was 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than a typical full moon.

Well, it's back tonight. NASA says tonight's moon will be the biggest full moon of 2009, "almost identical" to the one on December 12.

Ok that part was pretty standard though to be honest I dont like it. If you want to use peoples images to generate income then you should pay them.

However the next bit really puts me off

Sorry but no way am I granting other users these sort of rights to my images.

There's no way to protect your images anyway? Millions of images are "taken" from Google Images and Flickr on a daily basis. How would you ever track or prevent that anyway?
