Perhaps not, on the surface, typical HN fare, but it struck me as an interesting example of information hoarding or metering. Seems pretty ballsy to tell reporters they can no longer take their own photos of a sporting event, but instead have to purchase "official" images from the club owner.
These attempts to chisel people out of a dollar (or pound, as it may be) here and there are going to end poorly for the perpetrators. It's as bad as AP news insisting on charging by the word for fair use copying of content.
