body: Consider a blog on which the blog author displays images taken from internet sources. The author later learns about copyright implications of this.
  
  
  If the blog author removes the images from the site, is it possible that a company or individual could sue the blog author retroactively for infringing the copyright of an image, assuming that they have archival evidence of its use? Is it likely?
  
  
  I am interested in the UK law.
