Take a look at what Philip Greenspun has done (including the links to the
infringers) http://philip.greenspun.com/copyright/ , as it may help you to
decide your best response to what is clearly (from your copyright notice)
_theft_, even if they give the credit.

Hi all,

In an idle moment at work today I was browsing around some pages about
solar eclipses, and to my surprise I found a site belonging to a
commercial eclipse travel agent which has used one of my photos without
my permission:

http://www.eclipsetours.com/transit1.html

Mine is the Milky Way photo about half way down the page.  At least they
included my name.

As they're a commercial company I don't want them using my photos for
free, and I want to write to them and tell them that.  What I don't know
is what exactly I should be saying to them and how to approach this
sensibly.  Should I just ask them to cut the photo or would it be
realistic to suggest some kind of payment?  I thought I might suggest
they give me a free ticket on the Mauritius tour!

I have a vague sort of copyright notice on my webpages at
http://www.worldtraveller.f9.co.uk/photo/copyright.htm which in light of
this I should probably revise.  Not faced a situation like this before
and appreciate any advice from you all.

Cheers,
Roger
