I like all the petty little get even tricks I have seen in this thread. But, as has been said, if Boz has commercial possibilities with his images, allowing copyright infringements degrades the value. If someone feels it is easier to copy a photo than to take one themselves they are admitting to the commercial value of that photo so have no defense whatsoever. If the images have no commercial value to Boz, then probably a copyright attorney would suggest not litigating.
But in any case he should notify all parties of his ownership of the copyright and ask them to cease using it without payment. This is necessary to protect his rights and to protect others copyrights as well. It is a common good issue. This presupposes that Boz owns the copyrights to the images, I don't suppose he doesn't, but you would be surprised how many thieves get upset when someone steals their ill gotten gains. Reminds me of the story about the guy that called the cops to report that someone had robbed him of the ten grand that he had robbed a bank for.
