I Need a Lawyer

I need a real, actual lawyer.

I can't go into too much detail, but I can tell those asking 'why'
Yes, it's about copyright infringement. I have discovered multiple high-profile businesses using my stock images for profit without my permission / notification / compensation.
Straight-up stolen. This is not a case of one teenager tracing another's work and being a bad meaniepants art thief. This is multiple corporations profiting off of my unconsenting image and making me the face of their major advertising campaign. It's worse because both of these two completely seperate companies are international and don't speak English. Yes, my face was used two different times for two different advertising campaigns, both international.

I don't know how I am going to move forward, but I will do my homework. My stock is not a business. It was never intended to be. This brings me a lot of difficulty because I have only wanted to provide free or inexpensive resources to students and hobbyists. I never wanted to be a corporate model, especially without even knowing what these companies are selling.

For now the only changes you experience is that my popular stock images will be shrunk and watermarked, and only available upon request.

I also ask that those who use my stock do not ask for commercial permission until further notice. I just don't want you getting caught up in the crossfire. Personal use is fine, but until I can get a hold on this legal situation, it's probably for the best.
