Do People Steal Your Photos?

There was a story in the paper today that a family traveled to Prague and found that one of their family photos, that they had posted on the web, was being used for a billboard.

Have you had any photos stolen, or are you afraid that your photos might be stolen.

I have lots of photos on my blog (some good, some not so good), but I have wondered, "Are people stealing them?"

A friend of mine found one of his photos being used by a major bicycle company as an advertisement on their website.

Where did they post it? If it was on say, flickr, and they allowed commercial use, then no complaints. If it were on photobucket, I think they're not allowed to do that.
