Not specifically an OG issue but I am a little annoyed by the following
Are the following pictures by any chance related :

A bit of background. I took some pictures of some local places, partly
for the following page
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&lr=lang_en&hl=en&msa=0&msid=115932926268779335103.000001124d9d7ab1b13a6&ll=51.460787,-0.074908&spn=0.025007,0.030683&source=embed
and partly for RGL.
The guy who has "stolen" my picture is the maintained of the google map.
I hardly know they guy (met him a couple of times) but I do know a
mutual friend reasonably well. Think I will go via this friend.
Legally I think he has infringed my copyright. Even if I had licenced my
picture as CC he should attribute me. I (implicitly) gave him
permission to use the pics on the google map. Should have asked for
attribution.
