Pirates bastards

Glad to hear that you worked things out that way.

I sometimes worry about some of the advice that is given here. It often seems like using a sledge hammer to crack a walnut.

I'm not going to read back through all the post in this thread to see if anyone was guilty of that this time.

I can't see that anything is lost by what I assume was a mature, sensible but probably determined approach which on this occasion seems to have led to a satisfactory solution. A lot of things can be settled by sensible negotiation.

if that hadn't worked, you still had the option of later using the heavy handed approach which, if it had been your first move might have make him dig his toes in, even though he was in the wrong.

The guys just have a sense of humor :D
I will never use physical force in a case like this. Inviting that offender to have a cup of good coffee served with a powerful laxative AKA purgatives or aperients (the ones for horses will be better) is a much better and delicate way to demonstrate the feelings about the issue :D

Phenolphthalein is good. Tastless and colourless. Great for the tea urn and it is the most powerful laxative known to man. Second step is to use a screwdriver to close the toilet cubicle locks to "engaged" with a screwdriver from the outside.

I usually have a bit of a chuckle at ones like that because I can pick them as a joke.

It's the ones that might be serious that worry me, like the ones that suggest rushing straight into litigation without even considering negotiation.

The only problem with the technique is that all the efforts can go down the drain :D

Glad you got it sorted out relatively quickly Arthur. I think those of us making something from photography all live in dread of the day we open a page on the web and exclaim: "How did that get there? That's my picture!"

That happens every day, people post images belong to other photographers to make a comment about and issue. The do not worry me much, the problem is when they are using images not belong to them for a financial gain.

I do not have any problem if my images are downloaded by students or educational organizations to use them for that purpose.
The only possible problem is if one of my images was sold as a exclusive use to a client and then it is in a site on the web posted by others.
For that reason I prefer if people ask me before they use it.
