Fukc, I'm too pissed to even think, I guess I can send a cease and desist letter to the company, him, and any other contact I have such as accounting dept, etc. Any ideas on how to create a good c&d letter? I was also thinking about forwarding the invoice we had presented them as 'estimate' for payment to the accounting dept. since they decided 'to move forward' and use the concepts provided by us. That will at least get the accounting dept on his ass...

OSFA,
what they have done is broke the copyright law. as you "the artist" has the right to the art work. and not the client.
so...
I would send them the invoice for work upto the date. And tell them if they do not pay, they are required to take down the site as they are breaking the copyright law.

Thanks man, that is exactly what I am doing. I am sending them the original estimate, the outstanding invoice, and the original links that show my design concepts and proposal -oh, and that include a nice disclaimer at the bottom indication they are for poresentation purposes only and that all rights are reserved along with a nice and polite email requesting them to reply within 24 hour and bring down the site until payment has been made and permission granted. I will keep you guys posted...

quick update for those who care...
I contacted an attorney and explained the situation. He recommended that I copyright my intellectual work since I am the author (have to have it copyrighted before filing for a lawsuit). Once I do that, I can proceed with legal action and receive 5-150 grand depending on case if it is proven that it was an infringement. Oh, and that I need to send a cease and desist letter inmediately requesting them to bring down the site.

Well my dear firends, it is with great pleasure, that I share some good news with ya'll. (of course for those who care)
After sending a nice cease and desist letter and personally contacting (and ripping a new one) the CEO of the company that thought it would be wise to use unauthorized material that I created, I received the track# for my overnight payment. Thanks for all your help and support and damn! it feels good....Sorry for the interruption....
