Sony use snap of singing student

Alex Gyani (centre), a 3rd year at Pembroke, has expressed his frustration at an uncredited photo of him being used in press material for the Sony video game Singstar.

The image was taken at this year’s Glastonbury festival, and shows the student enthusiastically singing ‘The Final Countdown.’

Alex said, “I would quite like some recognition. I feel its unfair to use my image without permission.”

He suggested a free copy of the game would be adequate compensation, “It feels like I’ve given the seal of approval to something that I haven’t really got to critique.”
