Title: Re: copy-right infringement
That is really lame.  People are really clueless.  But in fact this person probably has a clue (he talks about copyright on the ad) but chooses to ignore it.  I don't think lawyers are going to help you on this one and are not worth your time.  Asking him to take them down isn't going to help you much.  Him using your pictures is a compliment to your work.  He should have asked your permission and you should ask him to put your name next to your photos and also pay you a percentage of the selling price.  If he refuses you should distribute his email address to this list so that we may all send him tons of email publicly condemning him.
