I just happened to go over to a competing site, where I used to be a member (didn't renew over a year ago - Not OMP).

They are using one of my images in two distinct places on their site signup page... Not sure I care - I think I'd rather have it being seen than complain and have it removed...

Just surprised me...

Send them a bill at three times your normal rate for commercial use of your image. That's pretty much standard industry practice.

check what their agreement was when you originally uploaded the image. It may be you are SOL
