A week ago, I received an order for prints from the owner of one of the dogs that placed at the ARC National and with the order, came a note asking if it were possible to send the images to her "so I can share them with friends via email." It just so happens that this owner is also editor of another Rottweiler Breed magazine.

So, I sent out the prints and did some research to find her email addy and wrote her to tell her that I was going to send her the web-quality files for free as a professional courtesy. Her reply was that she had scanned the prints and would be sure to give me credit in her ad!?

So, here's an editor of a professional magazine telling a photographer that she's scanned the photos and is going to produce an ad without getting permission from that photographer to use it for that purpose (forget the price of a high-rez file). I'm curious: what would you do in this instance?
