well, these french guys used it without even paying for it http://lassiette.blog.lemonde.fr/category/livres/.
Lisa,I am sure it is within the terms of the license he purchased, but I would hope that public shaming might encourage him to do the right thing. I don't think the stock sites will do anything for the reasons you stated.I know the UK has some rather nasty libel laws (the person accused of libel has to prove that what they said was true, rather than the complainant having to prove it's false) so we should tread carefully in posting on any public sites (i.e. don't say the guy's a filthy liar, but one could point out the origin of all those photos that we know to be stock).

I just sent him an email "...are you ready to face the legal system for using other photographer's works?"I'll keep you posted if he responds.
If he is selling other people photos as his own there must be legal action that can be taken on that front?

All this neanderthal did was delete the index.html page after you lot nuked him with emails. Talk about solidarity with one of our own at its best. Anywhooo, I've gone one further than that, I've got a UK journalist picking up on this story and if the little creep is passing off stuff as his own down the local market, she'll find him.Right now this thieving little wretch is about as comfortable as a lame Turkey sat on a packet of paxo listening to Christmas carols.
Unrelated, but I have just seen several of your self-portraits showcased in a UK monthly photo magazine. All legitimate, but they may confuse some of the culprits ‘clients’
No, I mean if the clients of photoarte see that you are the author they may also ask questions of photoarte.

The image on the top left of photo4rent was taken from 123rf.com : http://www.123rf.com/photo_2461308.htmlanyone knows the real owner ?
He's allowed to do that with photographs bought from stock. That would be something along the lines of interior designing. He doesn't say anywhere that those pictures are his own.

He would have us believe that he DID NOT proof read the wording of his own website claiming the images were part of his own portfolio?!?First in his family born without a tail if you ask me and now that he's learned to walk upright it looks like he's just registered on here as well.
