Author wasn't selling prints. Not sure where you got that idea.

The author's stance was always, that I could tell "I want to make sure this is cool with the photographer and model." But the photographer and model didn't actually discuss things with the author. They took a pretty sketchy claim and went to the author's webhost, who panicked and took everything down.

I bet dollars to donuts that the iStockPhoto license has a dispute resolution method involved in it and that it wasn't used.
