  Send them to iStock. My approach after you tell them that they could be sued, or at the very least, have to take them down (which takes your time, their money to do):

  1. Tell them you need a higher resolution version to make it look good (uncompressed too). Most likely, they won't find one.
  2. Send them to istock or shutterstock and show them that for $50 they can get several that they legally can use, that are high(er) quality, that you can use for print too.

  Most of the time, they come back in a few hours with a handful that do look better. Everyone wins.
