If the Hamilton Advertiser bought the image from you with all rights then, other than the lack of ego massage by way of a byline, what is the problem?
As the kid is only 11 I quite suspect that probably his father dealt with the paper and gave them the photo(s).

Comment by Mannesty posted on Pentax FF: Less MP more Image Quality ? at 07/04/2014 - 23:10
. . . we have lost some Pentax users to full frame over the last 12 months or more . . .
The many may have more money than sense and will vigorously defend their decision to move to a FF camera/system, but the truth is, unless you are a serious professional photographer who puts IQ before Mp, you are not likely to need a full frame system..

What do they mean by a "USB dock"?
USB usually means Universal Serial Bus, iirc.
The dock is camera mount specific with the Sony & Pentax mount versions being introduced first (I think).
