What would you do?
This butt-hole on e-bay has glommed a picture of our Porsche off of the web and is using it to sell his clocks. I'm honored, but I'm also pissed.

Barry,
If you took the photo, you own it and can ask the Ebay Seller to stop using it.
Unfortunately, many people think any image they see on the internet is "free to use" even for their own commercial purposes.
A photo of mine was used without licensing by a well-known classic car insurance company in a national magazine ad campaign. I contacted the president of the company and nicely explained the copyright laws to him. He wasn't happy about withdrawing the ad, but he did. Unfortunately, the ad ran in several publications before I stopped them.
Good luck. Suing over the use of a single photo is expensive and probably not a good idea.
