Oh!! Here's a wild one.
While searching for some new caliper decals for when I repaint them, I Googled and found these....

Look familiar to anyone here? Well look at my picture of my caliper, wheel and tire, not to mention the red center cap taken in 2006:

I don't know whether to be flattered or mad as h*ll!! these people stole my picture and are selling their decals using it, as well as XenonMods stickers.
And in one case, PSing their decals onto my picture.

What do you guys/gals think I should do about it?

Tell them the picture belongs to you and you'd like for them to stop using it.

Someone nabbed a picture of our dog off the internet and was selling Italian charm bracelets with his picture on it. We reported the seller to Ebay and they had to remove the auction.

Thanks for that, Taylor's MUCH better half, though I can't imagine that to be too hard. (Just kidding Evil Monkey "Taylor!!" Just kidding.)

They have already pulled the auctions but given the dishonesty involved, I wonder if I should still turn them into eBay?
WhadoUthink, Evil Jen?

A company can nab any picture they can offline due to fair-use. But if they are asked not to use it hey cant use it.

But in 3 out of 4 cases, they are using XenonMods.com's decals to sell their own products!! That's like McDonald's using a Burger King hamburger to sell their own.
Only one of these auctions had my picture photoshopped with what I believe to be their own decal. The others (3) were completely untouched.
