I realise it strengthen my case that this was deliberate copyright theft. The other point I am trying to clarify whether removal of the watermark is an illegal act in the UK. I had a clear agreement in writing with the event organisers that they could only use the supplied images on their online presence and confirmed in a separate follow up email that he cannot expect free pictures. I will be billing the magazine that used them for full list price based on the calculator on my web site - >£500 plus the administrative time of dealing with the theft.

He must have taken them from the event organisers web site where they were watermarked with a copyright notice. I have just had someone use 6 (at least) of my images after I explicitly told him that my pictures were not available for free.
