Yes, as long as you are dealing with individuals it's allot easier. You can have a lawyer send a letter stating that the offender could settle out of court for monetary damages (especially if your image wound up on a magazine) and the magazine itself could be held liable, even if not for monetary purposes but if nothing more than to set the record straight.
My main dealings in art is as an inventor, the US Patent Office describes this as art. I have had several patents and three have been ripped off by large corporations and, as much as we may not like to admit it in America, our pledge of allegiance to the Flag might as well end "...with Liberty and Justice to all who can afford it." because in a court of law, when it comes to patent art, the person with the deepest pockets usually wins the case.
