If the whole of the industry's annual revenue amounts to somewhere around 2 billion, this would mean that 5 times more images are used illegally than those properly purchased. I just dont believe it.

It was brought to my attention that one of my images was being illegally used on a website. When I went to that website to see for myself, sure enough, there it was...and while I was there I saw a 2nd image being used! I am sure it happens a lot.
