It is being used to represent someone's Facebook account.
What can I do about this? And if it had been paid for, would that still be an acceptable usage? Thanks.

Thats an odd one, contact support.

Wonder why someone's using a photo of a stranger for a FB account

There is a green button 'Report misuse' at your profile page (at the right part, in 'Contributors Area'). I guess it's a best way to report the problrm to support.

I've actually found another one. Same photo (with the watermark), but different user on Facebook again.

I have filed a copyright infringement report with facebook against the two violators. Let's see if they lose their accounts.

I've had that situation before and I sent a message to the FB person informing him of my rights and his wrongs. They voluntarily removed my image.

Just did a sweep, and found three people on Facebook using my stuff as their logos. I reported them all to FB, and they are now gone. One of them was a band, and should have known better.

The other two were a guy selling used books, and a coffee shop.

Search Google Images. You can use TinEye also but I think Google Images is better.
