Top Estates loves getting traffic off your images... oh yea your copyrighted images, oh and forgot... without your permission either.

Thomas,

Thanks for the link. I don't shoot this high end yet but it is nice to have for future reference.

Cheers,

Hi Tom,

Wonderful! I found 10 of mine as well - under "Las Vegas".

On top of that, the source site that Top Estates stole them from, have also stolen them - AND added their own URL to each image as if they're theirs!

I'm so pi$$#@!

Tried looking them up on "who is" using the url, to find out who they really are to no avail.

What does the Blogger Help link really do, and who are they (blogger help, that is) ?

Thanks for the heads-up!

:-(

For sure use the form at http://help.blogger.com/bin/request....ca_infringment

It is a Google Company and they will just shut the site down if enough people complain.

I just got this:

Hi Tom,

Yeah, I just reported mine as well.

Again, thanks for the heads-up. Didn't we have enough problems with customers "sharing" images? Now we got to stay on top of thousand of bloggers too?

I just love the digital age!

Hey all-

I just checked and the blog has been removed. Nice to know DMCA works. And thanks Tom for jumping on this!
