Should be "My original, copyright-restricted work is here"
"I don’t mean to be harsh, but photography is how I make my living." — implies that stopping sharing of his photographs is necessarily fundamental to living as a photographer (may be today, but this shouldn't be accepted as the only way our economy can work)
"On top of being a copyright violation, the use of a potentially endangered insect to sell an insect-killing product is both inappropriate and offensive." Wow, yeah, but it's the use that's offensive, not so much the infringement. I would have sent this anyway, and if they kept using it, I'd make a public stink about it.
"Such infringements are illegal, they waste my time, and they devalue my work." The first part is true, the second part is only because he chooses to waste his time, and the third part is completely wrong.
It remains totally unclear whether these take-downs are actually benefiting the photographer. It is nice that he's human and reasonable, but there's still so many assumptions here.
