It certainly would be an unremovable burr under one's saddle to have it blatantly happen. But I would never enter into any potentially volatile exchanges unless I had a good attorney checking every exchange. As JK professed to his limited knowledge of U.S. law, I too follow suit with my ignorance of U.K. law, but here, placing inflammatory advertisements in public media can lead to a slander suit being filed. If someone makes their living by photography or an associated trade, then copyright piracy has more adverse tones than someone who is a so-called, 'semi-pro,' or 'advanced amateur,' (and I must place myself in the latter category) having their work pirated. It may rankle, but it isn't taking any bread off the table. An attorney would be more likely to accept a case from a professional photographer than from a non-pro, unless, of course, the non-pro caught the 'shot-of-a-lifetime,' like Steven Hawking shaking hands with the first documented alien landing here to grab a bite of pizza. - EdM.
