Its not quite the same so the best they could hope for is inspired by, you dont get anything for that and the chances are it just looks very similar. I suspect though that the designer will claim they never saw the photograph at all if it comes to court.

There was a famous one a few years back when an artist that was doing Judge Dread mags copied the picture of a model from Playboy (IIRC). While the magazine kicked up some publicity about it the thing never went anywhere near a solicitor, never mind court. The artist freely admitted he did the deed and had done other offences so previously.

The mag even gave him a free sub!

He should be given an apology, then agree to let them use the image. It was probably an honest mistake somewhere down the line.
