Talked to one of the editors of the Economist and settled the issue. I get paid, the designer who ripped off my image gets no more work from them, and the next issue carries a clarification with a link to my page with the original. All in all, pretty reasonable. Thanks due to Henry Bowman and others for advising me.

*smirks at the thought of all these uptight readers of The Economist following a link to Oleg's website.*

VERY COOL Oleg. Now FAST, get your site all fixed up and lookin' Gooooood. And, check with your servers and get ready for HEAVY hits!!!!! Tell them what is happening, or rather about to happen. This could be a wonderful professional break! Who knows what work and payments may come of this. AWESOME possibilities! Be prepared!
One idea, lots and lots of little thumbnails on your home page -- people love pictures - and let them know to click for the larger picture and for the captions, etc.
GO FOR IT! This could be like a free ad in USA today! It could be worth tens of thousands of dollars in promotional value for you and your work!
Wouldn't THAT be cool! And let us know your traffic increases and other successes from this major good fortune!

Oleg,

I really like the work you put into your posters and photographs. I'm an editorial photographer, and can assure you that if you feel your images were used without your authorization, you should ask for compensation.
According to the industry standard quoting guide software, FotoQuote, stock licensing for the electronic counterpart or print of a consumer editorial magazine would be, on average, about $900. for a small image. Unauthorized use could bring you from 3x that much to $150k, whether or not credit was given.
You might also consult with the folks at www.editorialphoto.com.
Keep up the good work!

Glad to hear this. I'll add it as another reason why I prefer The Economist over any other news source.
Good news!
Was it really as easy as it sounds? No run arounds? No screaming or cursing threats? If it did go as smoothly as it sounds that sounds like one classy publication.

YAAAAAAYYYY!!!!
I'm so happy that things turned out good for you, Oleg.
I love your website and I think it will be a very good promotion for you and the cause of firearms ownership in general.
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Oleg, you da man!

countertop, if nothing else, anybody who Googles "Oleg Volk" will get www.olegvolk.net/ and www.a-human-right.com/ coming up at the top of the list.
I wish they'd posted links, too, but "At least it is something."
