Anyone recognize their photos on gostrippers.net or girlstogo.net (one is a wraparound to the other).

If they have your images up without your consent, you might want to send them a DMCA cease and desist along with notice to the ISP and hosting site.

Oh trust me Shayuma....your more than fine enough. I have always loved your work and thought you were beautiful.

and yeah....I regonized a few of Johnny's photos also. It sad that pukes like that have to steal someones work.

Whats funny is the sap that orders one of those girls...but sorry "that one is not available" at this time. I guess thats why they have this disclaimer:

"Choose Alternates
Choosing alternates ensures that you will still get the entertainers of your choice, in the occasion your first choice is not available."

Still sad.....Go get them Johnny!!!!

I see that this thread was first brought to everyone's attention over a month ago, but notice that images belonging to photographer's here on MM have not been removed and the site apparently is still up and running.

Well there isnt much you can do if you put your photos in a stock agency
and the agency throws your images into CD packages that people can buy for 50$-100$ per 100+images or there is the other opinion..

I love it when people steal others images and then actually put their copyright all over the shot..I guess to keep others from stealing the stolen images?

Or to perhaps try to add some credibility, but its actually so that people who like to rip images and spread em around, the lil copyright on the bottom acts as free advertizement back to their site.

This opens up an interesting area which I'm having to deal with more and more.  For those of you who do publish your work electronically, how do you deal with copyright infringements? 

Having an attorney send a letter every time still costs you and the violator still got what they wanted for a while.  Is it possible to get anything for damages?
