I received a call not too long ago from someone who told me that two of my images were on this site. You may want to check the site and find out.

I have been calling the owner of the site all morning with the information found on Alexa for the site. He hasn't answered his phone, however I didn't leave a message either.

I will try for the rest of the day to reach him, if not.. I'll put my lawyer on em... big_smile

For whatever reason my photos don't typically get stolen, so that's good. But still, you never know...

What a shitbag.!

I know I've seen this girls profile on MM. Doesn't mean she didn't give some of her pics to this guy to sell, but I kinda doubt it.

He's calling her Naomi Cruz although I can't find that profile on here. But that means little as she may go by something else entirely.

There's probably a lot more stolen stuff on there but I don't recognize any of it off hand.

None can "Steal" your images/work- not in the long run.

Eventually, they will be recognized and everyone, I mean, EVERYONE will bring it to your attention- hair people , models, photgs, magazine editors, muas, stylists, assistants, etc.

This is a small world, and all the playas' know each other.
Whoever TRIED it will just  go away l like dust in the wind. No professional will ever work with them again - EVER.

The stupid shit even has the photographers © symbol still on the images! This guy is in for a hurting (Financially). He seems to also be advertising all the major cell co's.

The Phone # on there is a 917 which is usually reserved for NYC cell #'s

I contacted all the people I knew who's images were up. He even has website urls to some of their websites. I wonder if it's not just some 15 year old kid who doesn't know what copyright means.

Long time ago, I managed to spot a stealing image in one site.
Immediately I raised the alarm and inform everybody about that thief who put himself under the name of photographer.

This guy also appears to be slightly changing the names of some of the models. Perhaps in an attempt to avoid detection? 

Anyway, I hope somebody shuts him down soon...

As far as I know to be on the site the girls have to sign a contract stating that they are the copyright owner of the images... so if he has that from the girls... it's them you're going to need to go after.

You put images on a site - any site - and both actual and ideas are stolen.
This includes those with Watermarks and such.
Imagine how many nudes are used at porn sites.

Wow! Genius. Not that I am condoning it, but stealing photos from the web and selling them as cell phone backgrounds. It is so easy to do since cell phone screens are the worst resolution so even a small thumbnail on the web would still be good enough for a cell phone. I wonder how many others out there are doing this. It's amazing to see so many copyrights and logos still there.

There's an Autralian model on there and i have just sent her a mail. Also sent an email to the photographer who took the pic
if it wasn't for sites like this we would be none the wiser and they would get away with stealing  everyones images.

In order to prove your case the model or photographer should DOWNLOAD their image  from this site after paying the $1.99 and keep it on your phone , pay by credit card so you have a record of it . THIS will prove your case completely!
