Re: Harley Davidson Used my photo without authorization

Your photo, as in you are the photographer? Or are you merely the person in the photo?

First I would gather some proof that they are using the picture such as taking photos of the "museum display." Then I would have a lawyer write them a letter demanding whatever amount of money you think you can get (probably not much if it is just a photo of you). If it's your photo that you took, register it with the US Copyright Office.
