[Leica] Copyright Infringement, what do you think?

I just received an eMail that reads as follows:

She enclosed a jpg of the reworked and manipulated photograph, a
self-portrait from my web site's home page, and an html.

Clearly, this type of thing goes on constantly in this new web
world. In this case, she's brazen, or naive, or proud enough to
let me know she did it. And feeling enough guilt to include the
"Don't be too mad" clause. How many times has it happened without
the perp informing on themselves? And what would, will, you'all
do when it happens with your work?
