Steals photos from photographers and uses them on the website

Besides my photos, there are 2 other photographer's whose work I recognized. I have informed them of the infringement.

They practically stole Dorothy's entire portfolio, some of my shots I did with Dorothy are on there too. Anyone know where they are located because I'm not really the lawsuit type of guy if anyone knows me.

Very common, as long as the right click works, it will continue unpoliced, it's a rapidly growing disease on the net for models and photographers. When you have free time, just wander over to Myspace place, you may find some of yours there someday.

Right click is only one of 3 very easy ways to copy images from a web site.  Why does it keep being mentioned. Sites without it are hard to navigate. There is no way to stop image theft if someone wants the image its theirs.

I noticed this dirtball also specializes in Hustler Style Nudes as well as XXX Adult work- except the links on the website don't work.

This moron needs to be shut down- contact the website hosting company may help,

Not to mention most of the images seem to have been stolen of OMP which has disabled the right click feature....

George Anastasakos seems to have been hit the hardest, a high percentage of the photos of Dorothy are his. I already contacted him.

I made sure I got screen shots. Got this off the Web Whois

It looks like he's pretending to be a amnager not a photographer.  I don't think it would be such a bad idea to talk to Dorothy.

Yeah, I think it's fairly telling that there are only two models shown there - Dorothy and another.  It's entirely possible that the situation is consensual between the models and site owner, though without the photographers' consent.  If you were going to rip off people's images to make it look like you represented a gaggle of models, wouldn't you rip off images of more than two models?

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to let all the photgraphers that I worked with who had their images stolen, know that I had nothing to do with this. I was notified of this last night by Rich Cutrone. He called me and asked if I had sold or given images to these people but I have no idea who they are and never did any business with them.
Hope all is well.

XOXO
