zuzu,
I won't get into a war over copyright and whats mine and what isn't, it's simple and straight forward, if I took the photo I own it period, I do not transfer any rights to anyone to use my photos unless they are willing to put up $$ for using them, and when I find my photos on a website or even in someones business knowing they didn't pay for it I take action. I have taken on CVS and WALMART for making copies of my photos for people who didn't pay for them or paid for one copy and made more from them. I even shut down an operation making t-shirts with my photos that were no authorized by me. The copyright laws have plenty of teeth if you have the right knowledge of them and how to use it to your advantage and if needed have an attorney who knows the laws as well.
