Well, looky what I just stumbled upon. Take a look at the photo in the banner for this site:

Now that a look at this photo (that I took):

It can be found from this page:

No one ever asked me for permission to use that photo. Isn't that copyright infringement?

Yes it is.
Contact them and tell them to take it down or pay you.

I would imagine you would have to have had the pics copyrighted before it's infringement.

No, you don't need to copyright family photos do you?

Get them to put a credit to the site.

I'd ask for cash.

Maybe Lou would be up for his first case?

The moment a photograph is taken, it is considered a copyrighted work of the photographer's.

I'm not going to make a big deal out of this, but I am going to contact them. They should have asked first.
