    ^ did you ever try to do anything about it?

    i mean, if you push it hard enough, there has to be something you can get out of it.

    unlawful use of a copyrighted document/picture...

    Guy, i'm sorry, but you need to take sum kind of legal action.

    take some time out of your day and give a lawyer a call and see what they can do. seriously....seriously.

    I don't think that litigation is automatically the answer. If they ignore or deny your request to remove your IP, then you can take further action.

    Everyone is sue-happy until they realize that a dumb little mistake can have them on the other end of a case where someone wants a ton of money for basically nothing.

    yeah thats pretty much what i'm doing. I have asked them to remove it, and I have submitted 1 of each of the auctions to ebay's VeRO program which protects individuals intellectual property rights. So hopefully something will happen soon. If not I'll move further... carefully.

    This is dumb,how hard is it to just ask someone if you could use their photos?.I am sure you wouldn't mind if they asked plus if you got something out of it,like alot of free amber corners and bumper lights.hahaha
