legal repercussions?
Unless you have very, very, very deep pockets and an awful lot of time to waste. Otherwise don't bother.
Why do I say this?
Well, I had a photo ripped off by someone in the USA. This was back in the days of flim. I'd scanned it and had it on a website.
A year later I found my picture in a magazine. I proved to the magazine [1] that I was the copyright owner so they paid me for the images but going after the [redacted] who stole it? Just to engage a lawyer I would have needed to put up around $10K and that was for starters.
Since this incident I do not put any of my photos on the internet unless they are very low resolution and watermarked.
[1] I took the negatives into their London Office. They soon realised that they'd goofed.
