Default Improper use of images ?

Hi,

A friend of mine just emailed me this link (Balloon Ride Wallpaper | Miscellaneous | Other | High Resolution & Widescreen Wallpapers) depicting one of my photos which is manipulated a bit and offered for free download at the site. Is that OK? Here's the original picture (Royalty-free stock Image | Sunset over Corfu island | iStockphoto.com) I also spotted other images from various micro agencies on the site as well. Thanks.

This is not allowed...
Contact the site where the picture was downloaded and inform them.

Patrick.

No Chance it's theft. I would hazzard a guess that nonce of the celeb images on that site have been endorsed eiether..

I thought so. The problem is I don't know where this image was downloaded from as it's one of the best selling images across all the microstock agencies I send images to. Thanks again.

EDIT: It must have come from iStock, see :
