LaLa, the music site that generated some buzz on its launch for its unique listening and pricing structure, might be in for some press they don’t really want. It seems they’re making a habit of jazzing up their band pages with photos from Flickr, without bothering to get permission from the photographers first. After Flickr users got wind of this and raised the alarm, it appears LaLa added a line above each photo crediting Flickr as the “source”, and a link reading “Report image” that, when clicked, fires up an email to their support team.

It’s unclear if LaLa has some sort of relationship with Flickr that they believe permits this activity even without some express opt-in by Flickr users. Barring such an arrangement, I expect LaLa is going to be spending a bit of time dealing with a flood of DMCA notifications.

Update: it appears LaLa got the message, and has pulled all of the suspect photos from the site.
