Do you know anything about these websites?

I had a zoom recently on my laughing cheetah cub E8B12H and decided to look for it online. Unfortunately I found it on some very questionable sites. The first one looks somewhat like a brothel....http://hdimagelib.com/laughing+cheetah+cubs... The second one also has my bear cub C2FMX4.

Not an encouraging discovery. Any thoughts about these sites?

Edit: The second one also allows free downloads. Sigh.

I found one of my zoomed images yesterday on an equally unappealing web site called cropme.club.  It offered multiple resolutions for download, which I didn't try because I'm sure I'd be catching something if I did.

P.S. I have also found zoomed images on keywording sites.

Both sites have plucked the cheetah image from a discussion on alamy.  You can download these from Alamy as well with the watermark, so not really different in that sense as they have the watermarked image.

Maybe start here:

Removing content from Google.

Half the time I do a google search for one of my images I find it on some questionable site. Lately I've found some of my more sensitive images on alt-right sites.

One deplorable uses a thumbnail as his profile pic on YouTube. It's bad enough when someone steals your photos, even worse when it's someone you would never sell to in the first place.

I was freaked out to find some of my images of Hillary Clinton on alt-right sites during the election, with obviously unfavorable content. That's the real downside of stock. 

 

I also found good sellers on those freebie sites. It's so frustrating.
