I was poking around google last night to see if I could find any of my images in use and came across a forum that is full of watemarked images. Mostly from IS, SS and Veer.
It appears to be a game played out within a forum. It looks to be harmless fun and not hardcore pirating but I thought I would post a link and make the stock community aware of it.

Im not sure exactly how the game is played or whats going on but if you click on any of the game round threads you'll find the watermarked images.

I have contacted the people who run the site (it is using the name Nickelodeon Family and Parents, but I don't see the actual Nickelodeon logo, so not sure if they are connected), because I just found one of my images from Veer being used.

I have politely asked that ALL watermarked images be removed or they will be reported to the agencies' copyright enforcement departments. We'll see what happens.

Some images are linked to the sites, without (apparently) any referral. I wonder if the sites offer blog sized image links like these as a form of marketing. 

This worked out well. The woman I have been in contact with...her husband was an Image Bank photog, so they are sensitive to the issue.

Checked again, still there. Will follow up today.
