reported use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property
owner, its agent, or the law;

4.   A statement by you, *made under penalty of perjury,* that the above

property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual
property owner's behalf; and

5.   Your address, telephone number, and email address;

6.   Your electronic or physical signature. If the submission is made
electronically, please designate your electronic signature by typing a

concerns.

Once Yahoo! has received a NOI containing each of the required elements
detailed above, Yahoo! will process your request.

I recebtly sent a msg to TinEye, suggesting they add Flcikr and Photobucket to their database.  So much stolen stuff in these sites...

At least one of my images is there too... This is not the first time I see them on Flickr under someone else's name. Several month ago we mailed them a hard copy of NOI, followed all their rules. The result - NOTHING. No reaction whatsoever. That image is still there. This is outrageous. I would go ahead and take them to court for this but  - as often in those cases - my time is worth more than I can get from them. Lost revenue on a couple of micro images is not that big. What else can you sue them for? Class action would be a more proper thing to do here.... Any takers on organizing it?
