Just two days ago I discovered one of my photos being used in this blog post:
http://berkeleygardencoach.com/2011/12/31/the-proteaceae-family/
(the 4th photo is mine - it's been reproduced at low res but it's still mine
and I suspect that the other photos have been nicked as well.)
that same image appears here too, possibly with permission:

(there's a link below the image to the source site, but that's a pretty weak
form of credit)
the state of copyright is miserable; it makes sense until you think about it;
only a fraction of those who make a living from copyright enforcement are
productive members of society; the laws are antiques, but their antiqueness is
constantly updated to keep Mickey Mouse in copyright; the DMCA is like the
Guantanamo Bay of copyright
nonetheless, i see this as a case where DMCA could be useful, after a few steps
of unsuccessful escalation; it would get Heidi's attention; i doubt she gets
much business from her website, and one positive thing about DMCA, when it is
not abused, is it gets quick results without causing huge expenses for the
infractor
