Similar thing happened with me a couple years ago.. I did a photojournalism project on the local homeless youths around town and a nationwide non-profit (can't release company name) used a photo of mine on their main graphic for a campaign they were starting and I got a little over 200,000 after all fees and things were set in stone. I mean, we're trying to help people, not have our rights impeded upon. I mean, really.. Yeah you could definitely sue them. Similar thing happened with me a couple years ago..

Get screenshots of their usage of your image. Just because you put an image online does NOT negate copyright.

Usually they use stills from movies but they really liked your image I guess. From what I can tell, the woot people are pretty cool folks... but I'm shocked that they don't seem to understand or care about photography copyright. To be fair, the TV isn’t crappy :)

The vet and I determined that it was due to malnutrition in the mother! When you get unknown fosters, ya never know.... It's so great that you were able to help this wee little cutie and give her a good start in life. :) I fostered some ducklings last year that had spots on their beaks (and feet).

The orange spots are what's leftover of the tiny baby beak. It's almost like the big beak burst out of the little one! But it's fine. The beak grew so fast, and the bigger beak now is pinker.

We'll work to get Fling and Thor to get with the program, too. Adrian's 11th birthday is today, so as his surprise, I told him about the adoption. He was thrilled. I wanted to be sure it was all a go before letting him know I was even considering it. He said that with 3 ducks, we now had a flock. :-) Thanks, Tiff - I know this was one of those things that was meant to be. I'm glad we could make it work.
