Then to add insult to injury, they've given me green cord trousers, a
receding hairline, and a shirt!

You'd have thought they could have got rid of the old mount on the other
side of the stack given the amount of touching up they've done. And why
remove the chimney pots?

Tell 'em you'll accept one of their little toys in exchange for their
breach of your copyright.

No, really.

Not only that, you appear to be a giant if the scale of the pole etc is
anything to go by. Another neat trick is how you can stand behind the
mast, and appear in front of the reflector of the back mount aerial on
said mast. That's before getting onto the shadow on the side of the giant
being on the side facing the sun.

He also seems to be doing a pretty good job of balancing himself on such a
steep looking roof, considering that he doesn't appear to be using a roofing
ladder , unless of course he's standing on the top of a dormer that we can't
see.

Absolutely bloody right! Copyright theft is bad enough with consumers
nicking professional works, without companies nicking private
individuals photos.

You have to ask why it was beyond the wit of man / Promax to take a
photo of someone near to an aerial without have to take a fairly
ordinary photo of a roof (no offence!), touch out the old aerial and
replace and add a character that wasn't there! And to be happy with
what they produced!!

Time to serve a small claims notice on them if a polite conversation
doesn't result in payment / freebies!

You really think they will care? It would be nice if I could squeeze a
TVHunter out of them, but I can't see it happening! My TV Explorer is in for
repair with Promax at the moment, so I'll wait until I've got that back
before I have a word about nicking my picture......

Considering that was taken in the CP region, they've also downgraded the
quality of the aerial - but made it huge to compensate!
Surely you should wear some PPE ;-)

I don't know if they will care, but if you are factually in the right
and get nowhere with a polite conversation then a cheap small claims
notice would at least prompt a response. Particularly where you are
a customer of theirs, I would have thought it would be excellent
customer relations to apologise for their error and compensate you -
even a bottle of whisky would be better than nothing!

I've used the "Gimp" to trace the roof with automatic near-colour
outline-tracing, then applied an exact 3:1 scaling between the two images,
and they're a perfect match. See he

(This was inspired by Java Jive'a attempt, which was a good idea in
principle, but it needed a little refining.)

And the advice from various people about redress... I know that most of us
are too teccy for our own good, but even somebody like me knows what
"having a laugh" is.
