    If you want to stop it then watermark your images. I know its not greatest solution as people on your site need to see them as well.

    Send them a registered letter describing the copyright infringement.
    Quote the relevant section from your copyright law.
    The settlement is nominally 10X what the rights would have cost them in the first place.
    Just taking the image down isn't good enough (print their website page). What's done is done.

    I've had my photography stolen and used for business promotion, without my permission.
    When they learned what the court-ordered (out of my hands) settlement costs would be, they were most anxious to settle quietly.
    Worked for me. Just business. Nothing personal.

    AND, they've got a picture of a table I made in Melanuk on there as well!!! This is getting scary!

    Well, if you look closely you will see that they didn't quite manage to edit the picture sitting on top of the cabinet out of the image they used.
    If you want to cheat someone, you will have to be more clever than that.
