Kyle, why not ask for the name of the dirty sod who submitted the image in the first place and hit on him as well?
D700, 50 1.8, 14-24 2.8, 24-70 2.8, 70-200VR, 80-400VR, SB800 plus a lot of gadgets
It will be the webmaster from wheelworx i think...
Adam, i'm not selling..just messing about 
Maybe I should though.. put some cash into a race car, and pinch photographers photos and use them for personal gain 
Uh, that's not how it works. It's really quite simple: the image doesn't belong to him, so he can't use it. It doesn't matter if he "credits you" (and I wouldn't call stealing an image that happens to have a watermark on it "crediting you" anyway) or not. I hope you correct him on this. He needs to be told that he is completely in the wrong. Cheers,

good luck with it mate, i really hope this turns out well for you.
its not your fault their normal source wasnt up to speed for when their release was going to be released. they used your photo and you need to be compensated for this! give em hell, make sure you come out on top!
Kyle,
have a look at: http://www.copyright.org.au/ plenty of stuff there but in their publications you will find: http://www.copyright.org.au/publications/G010.pdf which is "An introduction to copyright in Australia". That guy certainly needs to read it and have it explained to him if he can't understand it. good luck, André Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.

Wonder if he'll reply
Kyle,
I could be wrong, but it is my understanding you have breached Jason's privacy by publicly publishing his (private) email to you, unless he has given you permission to do so. I'm pretty sure privacy legislation was enacted a few years ago to protect against this sort of thing. Sort of ironic, I guess.
I understand that the Privacy Act doesn't relate to personal communication or information - it only relates to corporate/commercial or government use of information. Therefore, Kyle's posting of the email should be ok here.
Otherwise, imagine all the people who breach the privacy act when they forward joke emails! Regards, Patrick

Patrick,
My memory must be failing me, then (I probably have Alzheimer's) as I was sure I had heard about the ruling a few years ago. I did look up the OPC web site but couldn't find it. I'll have another look later, if I remember (I probably have Alzheimer's).
I have searched and searched and I can't find anything.
 I can even remember the comments on the radio and the forwarding of jokes was even mentioned. Perhaps it pertained to the email addresses being forwarded more than the content. I don't know. (I probably have Alzheimer's)
Either way, it was a private communication and would have been made with the assumption that it wouldn't me made public.
I would make the joke about that being the third time you have mentioned you probably have Alzheimer's, but I would rather not. I am happy to stand corrected on the privacy issue, the reason I mentioned it previously was because I had a quick look at the legislation when the issue of the Do Not Call register came up recently (I think) and I was sure that the Privacy Act didn't apply to individuals. Happy to live and learn! Regards, Patrick

Just bung ”without prejudice” in front of any missive - my lawyer tells me that it can not be used in court against you

To further on from Sirhc55 comment, many letters I head "open letter", meaning it can be shown to anyone. Particularly useful in this case if you were quoting his letter to you in your letter, it would expose how self important this guy thinks he is and how he believes motorsport revolves around him.
I would think that the privacy act is designed to protect bigger fish than an email between two blokes, come on guys!
I know it is illegal under several acts of parliament to record conversations without any of the participants knowledge, but not if one or more of the parties is aware of it. You need a court issued warrant if you want to. Kyle publishing an email sent to him would not be an offence. 2x D700, 2x D2h, lenses, speedlights, studio, pelican cases, tripods, monopods, patridges, pear trees etc etc

No, all you do is put up photos of when the offenders "lose it" and all the other shots of bad driving
Nothing quite like annoying people. Get the tags right and google will do all the work for you too
