Is it possible the images were (mis)used accidentally? Most legitimate 
corporations are generally reasonable when it comes to acknowledging 
copyright / patents etc. as they usually look for a quiet life on the 
legal front -- however, accidents and oversights do happen.

Is your friend certain it was a malicious act of copyright infringement?

Has he tried contacting the organisation concerned? Also, has he proof of 
copyright?

Cheers,
Ivan
