Wow, $3,000.
Now I kind of hope someone tries to steal one of our images.

Good going Josh! Next time send them a bill in addition to the "cease and
desist" note.
Once a shoe manufacturer based in Spain used one of my images without
permission in their advertisements. One of my alert friends sent me the
catalog and I promptly sent the manufacturer an official looking cease and
desist letter and a bill for "customary charges already incurred for
copyrighted image use". They paid me! I got a check for $3000 buckaroos and
an apology from the owner, who had hired an ad agency to produce the ad (the
culprit was the ad agency).
$3000!!!
If anything, the "bill" emphasizes the point that grabbing someone else's
work is a BIG LEGAL NO-NO. Most people are completely clueless about
copyright laws.

Thanks to those that were able to comment - I noticed Deb Booth got one in
that was good. Looks like the images have been removed. Mission
accomplished this time!
I'll let you all know what I hear back from Facebook if anything.
