Wow, that's pretty blatant copyfraud. Anyone
who owns those images should
have a pretty good case to sue him.

<https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/paul-fearn.html> seems
to have a little business of selling images from WLM and claiming their
authorship. In the past others complained at OTRS (
https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom;TicketID=…
). Did anybody tried contacting
https://fineartamerica.com/contactus.html?tab=contactus to shut him
down?

Yuck.
That said, perhaps we should think about integrating a link to a
CC-friendly printshop that can produce prints roughly at cost, perhaps with
the WP URL and license on the back. (prints are basically the only service
'fineartamerica' provides.)
In the US I use shortrunposters, ~$4 for a 2'x3' print (so, 5% the cost
of fineartamerica); I bet there are others.

Hi all,
TLDR: someone is stealing WLM photo on
https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/paul-fearn.html?tab=artwork&page=11
:/
Longer story: WMFR just received an OTRS message from a WLM competitor
who discovered that someone is wrongly taking credits for its WLM photos
(and other WLM files and other files from Commons apparently) on the
fineartamerica website. This competitor send a mail to this website and
asked if WMFR can help in any way.
So now, I'm sending you this mail to know whether you had to deal with
things like this or if you have any ideas of what should be done.
Cdlt, ~nicolas
