FRHack threatens to sue person using screenshots to criticize them?

I found the following post fairly amusing and had to link it here.

"A few days ago I complained
about the incredibly awkward IT Security Girl of the Year award that
will be dished out later this year at the French IT security conference
FRHACK.
Apparently the FRHACK organizers did not like what I wrote because they
are now threatening to sue me if I do not remove the screenshot of the
incredibly inappropriate photos they used to advertise the IT Sec Girl
award. The following sentence is from an email I received from one of
the FRHACK organizers.

"We just ask you to remove this picture http://www.the-interweb.com/bdump/misc/itsec_girl.jpg because these pictures are copyrighted. Thanks to delete your screenshot or we will take legal action."

And so the security drama goes on.
