I think your complaint may have already done some good. This is the message I get when I click on the offenders links that you posted.

Subject: [artshow_photo] Copyright infringement on Facebook
Hi Everyone,
Wanted to share some info on a recent copyright issue I am currently having
ia facebook.
At the Bayou City Art Festival a visitor to my booth took high resolution
mages of my work, and then posted it on facebook in one of his galleries,
nd also used it as his profile picture, without any permission from or
redit given to me, the artist.
I don't mind if people take photos of my work if they are going to use it to
ake a purchasing decision, with a low res camera or at an angle that you
now they can't reproduce it, but to zoom in and take a close range,
igh-res photo of a work and to post it online where anyone can print it and
se it is theft and copyright infringement. This is unauthorized use and
istribution of my Intellectual Property and Copyright Protected work.
Facebook has an automated DMCA form that is really nice to use - nice for
he copyright holder, and probably makes it easier for them to deal with
hese things in a procedural fashion.
So I submitted a complaint and I am waiting to hear what they are going to
o about it. I also posted on the offender's gallery that thi sis my work
nd he should take it down...I haven't heard back yet.
Anyhow - if you are a facebook user and feel like you want to help please
isit the user's page and let him know he should take the image down.
Here are 2 links to the image that has been posted on facebook:

o artists and photographers.
I will write a blog post soon about this and post a link to it here with
urther details and updates.
