I suspect the guy would plead ignorance, and he’d probably be right. He’s not much of a photographer from what I can see. He took my pics because they’re minor celebrities who he admires. Probably doesn’t plan on selling anything, but I think Photobucket automatically offers everything for sale. In any case, I think they’ll have him take them down. Perhaps it will serve as a copyright lesson for Mr. Wayne.
