This is why I avoided Flickr for a long time. There's no mistaking he stole it because security is set to give the spaceball.gif so it's a screenshot or something.
Anybody ever have to deal with this? What have you done about it?
Plus some designer just hit me up for using an image in return for "a nice placement of my name on the new site". Yippie. I responded with a quote.

Hi Paulie
I had been in a similar situation before where a guy on FLICKER stole my image.
Link for my image and my comment.

The moment I found out, I replied in the comment area asking him to take off the photo, he never did. Therefore, I sent an email and a letter to Yahoo.com and they never responded. My image is still under his name. I don’t think there is much you can do unfortunately unless you have some sort of copyright and that you can legally ask him to take it off.

I would send the real estate agent a friendly letter stating how he can license the image for use and how he wasn't allowed to use the image for free. He may not of know that he wasn't able to use the image. There are a lot of people that have no idea about royalty free stock or how it works.

I would bill him with a triple amount. And write that if he decided not to pay, he would hear from my lawyer.

Good idea. What about plan B if that doesn't work?
