-> A lot of photo business is based upon good faith and trust. It simply is not
-> worth the time and effort to try to track the usage of all your images, if
-> you are selling regularly. You accept that most users are honest. Now if you
-> happen across your image in an unexpected place - a client passed it along
-> to another user without your permission - a letter pointing this out, along
-> with a substantial invoice usually gets results. The law is definitely
-> stacked to favor the copyright holder. With current law, the moment you have
-> shot the image, you have automatically copyrighted it.

Yep, as you all know, I've been there, done that.  I think the problem with
that particular picture has finally subsided.
