This is due to the fact that photons are virtually massless particles as I 
recall

Even if this was true and assuming no other forces acting on a measured 
velocity of 7C, this would mena the photon was emitted from 6 other sources 
traveling at C...ie a star somehow a C emits an x-ray at c emits ...... etc etc

By the way here folks X-rays escape from Blackholes indicating the ability to 
move at a velocity greater than C...just to enrich this discussion
