That is crime Ugo.
If there is some of youre magnificient artworks you should put those "gentleman" on court, and of course get money from him for youre ilegally published work.
Even on Balkan, where I UNFORTUNATELY living, this is crime act.
Go and rock those pirate.

just one point Ugo,

where have they got them from, surely to put in print they need a large format image

Ok, let me be more clear, so others may not do same mistake:

In July I have been contacted by Mr Poulet who said he had a project to publish a book using some of the artworks he found on aviationgraphic.com.
We dealed for 40 profiles, most of them were mine but 10 also belongs to Tom Cooper and 1 to Lieuwe de Vries (Supah) who asked for a book in exchange.

He asked to pay in two tranches, one in end of July and one in mid August.
I sent him the TIFF files as requested together with my company invoice.

Time passed, no money, and in the middle of August all my email to him were ignored, never got a replay (mind that during July and till the day I sent the illustrations we got in touch almost daily even by phone).

According to Tom Cooper, who lives in Wien, we gave the invoice to an International Debt Collect company. So far they said that tried many times an approach but without any results.

As I had involved two illustrators to help me due to lack of time, it was my duty to pay at least Tom Cooper, thing that I did, while Supah is still waiting for his copy of the Book. And mean while as I released a fiscal invoice I had to pay the 20% VAT plus taxes on that. I was pretty pissed off and was going to let this go.

I was thinking "he didn't pay but at least the project stalled" I was prepapring a lawyer document to keep him aware not to use the images we sent as we had not been payed for so he had no rights on them

Suddenly a BAD surprise! The book was released some weeks ago. Unbelievable! I bought a copy from Amazon thinking that maybe he relayouted the book without our artworks...all our artworks are there. It's easy to make busniess and money with free materials.

Here we are mates. I decided to tell everybody (including Amazon legal office) about this book and suggest all of you top keep an eye open on "mission speciales" and Mr Philippe Poulet. Never trust him, unless he pays first of course

And here is a preview of the contents: Avions de chasse et bombardiers du monde

as you can notice 99% of the pictures are in "public domain" from USAF, USNAVY or even factories, but am pretty more than sure he just said where they are from without even ask

Good luck and keep us posted

I hope you get paid ASAP plus a nice penalty for the gentleman in question. Let me know if ever I can be of any use, as I live in France.
