    Have you removed it? (I'll assume so) Just say it was there for 1 day only (or a short period), for promo only, no matter what date the file says it was created on. In fact, they allow and welcome people to use their images as comps. you can call them and ask them for a larger comp to use for your pitches and such as well. Your defense will be that it was solely used for promotional purposes, no monies was made off the piece and you'll gladly remove it. Hopefully, they are kind folks.

    Also, if you did use it while working on a contract gig, had you CYA (covered your ass) and had the client sign away all liabilities, the client can be help responsible for any legal actions and not yourself.

    Just throwing some thoughts out for ya. Good luck.
