Nice when you see one of your images in use isn't it, or not


Recommended Posts

Rather blatant breach of copyright on a few Alamy images here including one of mine. I doubt anything will/can be done but I have sent it in.

Not quite sure the purpose of the website, unfinished WordPress template with random non nonsensical paragraphs

Your chances are slim to catch them, you may though try to contact the registrars abuse addresses (in bold below) .  

Best not to visit these sites, they make money by the adverts put up and you may also catch a virus, trojan or worse, downloading anything. 

The "contact us" on the webpage also leads to another domain gamischic.com ....

interesting, they have a huge terms of use section to ensure they aren't infringed upon...

 

i notice this a lot too, they infringe us, but then have a knowledge enough to put their own notices. surely thats classed as flagrant breaching, given they know enough to inforce their own CR's?

I did notice the place where you can reply, but I don't have the time to be snarky right now...I'm saving that up for a meeting at work this afternoon.:rolleyes:

When I reported some (many) of my Alamy watermarked images used on websites without a registered download, Alamy answered that they couldn't pursue the infringers because the site was based in a country (most often Panama) that was out of their reach, so to speak.

It's a cost of doing business.

But OP, if you see a UK infringement, ton of bricks. IPEC.
