The guy saved some dough by not purchasing the pics rights and got caught. Looks like you are going to make some money.

This is pretty strictly regulated among photographers,writers and other artworkers worldwide and should be an easy case for any attorney.

Kris you will have a solid case suing them on a pretty large chunk of the turnover they have on these products.

About the rights on your artwork you can sell it in different variations. Photos can be sold on one printrun only or forever. It is just up to you and the buyer of the artwork.

Just be sure to tag the images with your Copyright information in Photoshops fileinfo box.
