Crackdown on Unlicensed Image Use – #8

The first 2 images show an unlicensed use of my image.
I also include a link to the page where the violation was discovered.
The third image is my image.

Curiously, this is a Nova Scotia business using my picture but the image was taken on the Ottawa River in Ontario.
Contacted the website through the contact form on January 17, 2011

Dear BBNova Scotia,

Please purchase the commercial download license for $45 US by selecting the Buy button above the image and then the Download tab.
Otherwise, kindly remove the image from your website and please refrain from photographer copyright violation in future.

Received an immediate reply, perhaps autoresponder:
“We will be in contact with you shortly.”
I noticed that my image has been removed from the website but I have received no correspondence.
