Brian, I'm no lawyer but I think that the site owner or host server who rents out the resource, has legal responsibility for what is published there. The trouble is that the host company is US based while the published HTML material, "The Boathouse" is probably UK based. Any resource or service being offered down the chain should invoke indemnity through clauses in first, the hosting resource contract and secondly, the advertising contract.

It is not the possible misrepresentation that the boat advertised is not the one in the photograph that's the problem; it is that either "The Boathouse" owner or the boat owner stole Nick's photograph to represent it - ergo, breach of copyright. All the waffle in the world about "pictures of other Trappers" doesn't mitigate the basic theft. It's clear why they chose that one - it's a damn fine picture, it deserves attribition, if not payment.

Best,

Brian.
