We sell products on our site, and one of our competition use some of our photos for their site and amazon.
What can we do about that? What kind of email to send them to make them remove our images?

Firstly they were using like 2-3 images, so we let it go. Now around 10.... Def should do smng about that.

Yes email them asking them to remove the images and the next time start watermarking your images.

if they are just hotlinking rename the pic's you are using yourself and then upload new pics to your directory with logo's/messages/etc renamed as the original pics.

Send them an email asking to remove and stop using your images for their website.

From now on, watermarked your images with your brand name or domain name. If they ever rip your images again, you have your brand on your images.

Here is Amazon (UK) policy on copyright infringement;

Detail Page Ownership and Image Restrictions: When a detail page is created, it becomes a permanent catalogue page on Amazon.co.uk that will remain even if the creator's inventory sells out. Additionally, when you add your copyrighted image to a detail page, you grant Amazon and its affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable right to exercise all rights of publicity over the material.Other sellers can list their items for sale against pages that you have created or added your copyrighted images to. However, we do require sellers to list only against detail pages that exactly match their items. If you believe sellers are listing against detail pages that do not exactly match their items, we ask that you report the violation here.
If your copyrighted image has been added to our catalogue without your consent, please complete the form below.

If I were you I would simply invoice them for unauthorised use.

Take screen shots and send them a bill. It doesn't matter if they take the images down you can still get money off them.

Going forward check out digital watermarking.

Can you prove that you own a copyright to the content? If not, its in the public domain. Watermark your images next time.
