 Photographer Paul Ferradas has said a photo he took of a model has ended up being used without consent from him or the model.

| Disney to tear up the dirt with extreme ATV racing | |
| Posted: 14.02.2008 06:55 by Jamie | Comments: 0 |
 Looking to put gravity-defying exhilaration into action, Disney has enlisted Black Rock Studios to develop "Pure" on next-gen consoles and PC. Unlike traditional ATV games where the emphasis is usually on simulation, Pure is an arcade racer with nothing but 'extreme' on its mind to let players exercise the dare-devil within.
There's a whole host of characters to choose from and then gamers can either match off against AI or go against up to 16 players online. Wes Miller, pro rider and the founder of H-Bomb Films, is also offering his advice throughout to Black Rock Studios helping them maintain an authentic quad culture, while still having room for 'crazy'. | |
