Hey Thomas,
Like Frank (aka FrankB-1) has already mentioned, all you can do is request the image of you be removed.
A few years ago, I had a vendor insist that I remove a screen print of his member's area removed from my review.
I took different steps, being sure to cover my legal butt, but in the end, I created a framed image and placed text across the image "image removed at vendor's request" and used that instead.
That step was taken when the vendor threatened to report me to the DMCA.
Can you get money from that merchant you say is using your image? Well, maybe if you hire a lawyer... but that's a big maybe. Plus, it would cost you more for representation than you MIGHT get from any case you take to court.
Hope you find this helpful.
I play by the rules, so it really irks me when someone steals my stuff to profit off of it. I think it's even worse that it's a merchant.
Hi, Thomas
Since you applied to their affiliate program, perhaps you can have them give you a do-follow backlink.
However, if you would like the photo removed, let them know.

I thought about that, but it's so flagrant I feel like they owe me monetary compensation as well.
Not yet, the training isn't really applicable since they took a screenshot of a video.
Thinking about consulting with a lawyer. Might go through their website and see if they're using any more screenshots of me.
And that’s quite reasonable. If they have a high domain rating in your niche I would focus on the do-follow backlink. 😎

Merchant is using a screenshot of me without permission - what would you do?

Yeah, I've been reading up on it. It seems like misappropriation of personal likeness and rights to publicity along with copyright is what they're infringing on.
I'll probably see if I can get a consult with a lawyer on it.

I tried creating an account via the web browser and I would receive the Instagram code, but it wouldn't accept it in the browsers no matter how many times I re-sent the code.
Hey Thomas,
You could try calling them (see screen print below) or emailing them.
Hope this helps you.
Hmm, if that was a legit way to contact them, then I think they would have that phone number listed on the Instagram site.
I was able to get in tonight with the original password I set during my first attempt. I'm not sure what the issue was, but glad I finally got in.

I think that I would too, if I was in your boat, my friend!
