I am by no means a lawyer, but there is no fucking way that a court would say that sonofsam did a copyright violation, IMO.
He took the images down when asked.

Contact the infringer
The first step is to make the infringer aware of your objection and put forward a reasonable settlement and time scale to reach the settlement.
In your letter you should include:
* The name of the work(s) you are objecting to.
* The reason why this is an infringement, i.e. an unauthorised copy, adaptation etc.
* State that you believe this act constitutes an infringement. That your work is protected under law and that this constitutes a breach of your legal rights.
* State that this is unacceptable and must stop.
* State what action is required to resolve the dispute, usually you would request the withdrawal of all copies of the work, (and any other encroaching materials).
* Specify a deadline for your conditions to be met [28 days is the normal period].
* State that you are seeking legal advice and that the case will be pursued if they do not comply with your request within the time period.
It is normal to simply request the withdrawal of all infringing work as the first course of action, if however you believe that you are entitled to financial remuneration, such as damages or royalties, then contact a solicitor immediately.
