Anyone knows how to work out stolen property on web sites ?

Hey there,

Anyone knows how to have a site partially deleted when it simply copies your
text and images without crediting ?
I tried to contact the domain name provider of the sites themselves but the
answer is "we only sell domain names and take no responsibility of the site
contents".
Any clues ? Of course it's not a big deal but I hate seeing rare pictures
easily copied around after having paid $100s for very rare stuff when not
unique stuff.


Thanks,

David Winter

Send them an email telling them that those images are copyrighted by you and
they need to take them down or credit you.

Are the hot linking the images or did they just save the image and post to
their site? If they are hot linking the image you can run a script to block
right click, but that can be gotten around too. If it's hot linked I'd
change it with the most disgusting picture I could find. As far as making
them take it down... sorry can't help there.
