Even if he did copy this picture off your website, you have no copyrights to
it anyway, because you scanned in a copyrighted photo from a Lego brochure.
As far as copyrights, it only covers original work you've done, not pictures
or brochures someone else has produced. Also, copyrighting is often only held
up legally if you've registered your copyright with the Library Of Congress.
