Yes and no... the concept in question is "implied consent". Gary is absolutely right in that not having said anything doesn't change anything in terms of responsibility, HOWEVER, if the matter did go to court, a judge might view the fact that nothing was said at the time as impied consent and take that into account when considering what, if any damages to award.*sigh* Again wrong. Not saying anything does not condone or even suggests that "you don't care that she stole your image and is using it for commercial use". Not saying anything only implies that you didn't say anything. Not saying anything neither approves or disapproves of what the other party said. Not saying anything ... is actually ... not saying anything.I never said anything about legal stuff.
I said.
The fact that you said nothing to her about her needing to pay to use the image like that means that you told her you are ok with what she did.
By not saying anything right away your practically saying that you don't care that she stole your image and is using it for commercial use.
