How much should I charge a local bank who stole one of my photos from my photography collection on Flickr?

Copyright Infringement.

If you see photos or videos that you've created in another member's photostream, don't panic. This is probably just a misunderstanding and not malicious. A good first step is to contact them via FlickrMail and politely ask them to remove it. If that doesn't work, please file a Notice of Infringement with the Yahoo Copyright Team who will take it from there.

Also, did you add a license?

First, you must be in a position to PROVE the image in question is YOUR property (that YOU took it). Secondly, contact a well-known, experienced and knowledgeable attorney specializing in copyright law, and ask for a free consultation. You can contact your state's Legal Board to get a list of attorneys in your area. Explain the circumstances to the attorney and PROVE to him/her that the image in question is indeed YOUR property. Let the attorney contact and deal with the bank.

There are circumstances that may prevent you from automatically suing; like, did you inform the bank that they're using an image that is your property and ask them to stop using it, and what the reaction from the bank was. Let the attorney deal with it; he/she may get you some money out of this (if that is what you're after)(remember, the attorney is entitled to at least 1/3 of whatever monetary earning you get, and will TRY to boost his/her earnings by charging you for "paperwork," "secretarial fees," "court fees" and whatever else he/she can think of; so, up front, when the attorney states his/her fees, make certain to inform him/her that you will not expect to be charged any hidden or surprising "extras").

Don't know, but you will first have to establish that you have a legal right to the photo, which is probably a copyright, which you don't have. Check the Flicker rules. It probably says anything on Flicker is open to the public. You would probably also have to establish that you are a professional, and this theft was from your source of income. You can always send them a letter and an invoice and they might pay and save the expense of legal issues. Write a nice, good letter.

Copyright infringement is a big offense. It's not uncommon for rulings to be in the six-figure range. They're a bank with deep pockets.

Of course. That is your portrait right. Send them a letter. Then a lawyer's letter.

It depends on how they used it. Look up "photo rate calculator" on line and figure out what they owe. Send them a bill detailing the usage.

Talk to a lawyer - that is copyright and a civil offense.

Yes sui them as they would sui u if you used 1 of there's.

Ask them how do they want to pay.
