I guess, what all this says, is that you probably can't stop people from
stealing your pictures for their own profit. One thing that would help is
putting a really strong warning on the website that all pictures and articles
are copyrighted by the originator (see Bob's e-mail) and may not be
duplicated except with the permission of the photographer or author. Implied
permission to reprint is available only with specific permission by the
originator.
What I think should be done in this instance is to require that this thief
send his entire stock of calendars to the injured people and do something
positive with them. The thief probably doesn't have enough money to get up a
class action against him, but a free calendar isn't nearly good enough,
either.
