(Is that the result of a search for pictures by "Rob Studdert"?)
It actually looks like two infringements of the Copyright Act, doesn't it?
1. They are, without your consent, making a copy of your picture(s).
2. They are, without your consent, altering said picture(s).
(I assume this is what you're asking for our opinions on.)
Well, it's bad, bad, bad.... Sue them their pants off! :)
Seriously, I don't know if this has been tried by any law, but it is principally an
interesting question.
