Hey - They Stole My Image!
My good friends Jack and Tres learned through a friend that their image was being used prominently on a web site for a Santa Barbara spa. The trouble is, neither they nor I ever gave the webmaster permission to use the image from Tres and Jack's wedding. The legal section of the site even proclaims that they own the image! "....All information contained within this website is protected by this copyright. This includes all photographs, copy, design, and all other aspects of the site."
Now, none of us is too concerned about it. If they had requested permission to use the image, we would have agreed - so long as they gave us a few free passes at the spa. That seems fair, don't you think?

Part of my professional life is dealing in intellectual property and infringement of copyright is a serious issue. While I commend you for taking a laid bakc attitude in this instance. I do think that you should actively pursue them for more than just some spa tickets. Take some screen grabs and get your passes. You deserve it. By the way - nice photograph. Tobias Streed

Dude you must fight for rights. It's the whole principle thing if nothing else.
