Default Orchid Photo Theft

Nik,

Relax. If you put your photos on the web they are going to get used by
others... this is 2006, not 1976. Don't be such a whiny naive crybaby.

Hi all,

I have just discovered a website based in Denmark
(http://www.bc-orchideer.dk/phalaenopsis.html) unlawfully using several
of my orchid photos to sell their orchids. I won't be surprised if they
are also using photos of others too.

I have sent them a warning e-mail demanding that they removed the
photos ASAP and I would suggest others that are also affected do the
same. I'm really pi$$ed off when people stole my photos for commercial
gain. I have given permission to various individuals and organisations
for non-profit use of my photo collection but if they're making money
out of it, I feel that I need to be compensated.

Regards
