Hi all
I have not read all the emails regarding this but...
Why don't you take it as a compliment that someone is using your photographs - why don't you rather ask him to put your name on the artwork along with his name and then you will get free advertising everywhere he is showing his work.
Sometimes people need stop looking at mistakes others make and blame them for them - you can as well look at it as a new opportunity for you..just my thoughts...
Thank you

You can try "Hall of Shame". See Philip Greenspun's comments (google for [Philip Greenspun Hall Shame]) on this. Copy all of the text off the offending page, and publish it within quote marks; write persuasively an account of how this person ripped you off. Anyone who searches for his page will automatically find your story too.
Information wins. (And it isn't like bananas.)
