Hi everyone,

I’m a photographer from Belgium. I discovered one of my photos has been printed illegally and is on one of the walls in a cruise ship. It’s a major US company. I discovered this because a passenger recognized my work and sent me a photo of it.

Does anyone now what’s the best thing to do here?

Thanks!

    They probably purchased artwork in bulk from a supplier, who probably bought the artwork from freelancers, who probably who took it without permission. Do you have any idea where the supplier or freelancers would have taken it from, was it available online in high enough resolution to print?

    And now that this has been discovered, have you registered it with copyright.gov (allowing for statutory penalties, presuming this stays US-based)?
