I just went and had a look at one of my competitor websites and noticed they have simply copied the images which I paid a licence for and used it on their website. What can I do about this?

Thank you. Well, if the web site is operated in the US, you can use DMCA - a law means that you can complain to a web site operator and they must (after giving the web site operator a chance to defend themselves) take down the images. Adobe also have a DMCA method, and Adobe staff will refer you to it. But it is useless to you, because complaints can only be made by the copyright holder. Adobe do not seem to have any way to make third party reports of copyright theft. I guess they are not interested, or feel it would cost too much to investigate...

How do you know they copied it, rather than buying their own copies?

Because he has copied other images which I made myself.
