You can do something about it if you're publicizing, selling it or somehow making profit off of it. You need a model release to do that kind of stuff. He can probably take them to court if he wanted, but then you have to ask yourself this: a) do they have the money to pay you compensation if they lose? b) do you have the money to afford a decent lawyer who will win the case? c) do you have the time to care about something that so far has not affected your life in any way?
