here is a copy of the email that i got back from ic3.gov when i filed it.  i will let you know what happens with it and we can use it as a test to see if we can deter or, long shot, prosecute them.

Thank you for filing a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).

Your complaint has been successfully submitted. Please retain the following information for future contacts with the IC3:

Complaint Id: I0905132052001691

The IC3's mission is to serve as a vehicle to receive, develop, and refer criminal complaints regarding the rapidly expanding arena of cyber crime. The IC3 aims to give the victims of cyber crime a convenient and easy-to-use reporting mechanism.

Complaint Status
The IC3 receives thousands of complaints each month and does not have the resources to respond to inquiries regarding the status of complaints. It is the IC3's intention to review all complaints and refer them to law enforcement and regulatory agencies having jurisdiction. Ultimately, investigation and prosecution are at the discretion of the receiving agencies.

Evidence
It is important that you maintain any evidence you may have relating to your complaint. Evidence may include canceled checks, credit card receipts, phone bills, mailing envelopes, mail receipts, a printed copy of a website, copies of emails, or similar items. Please keep the items in a safe location, in case you are requested to provide them for investigative purposes.

49 sales on crestock wont reach payout, so hopefully they will do something before he gets any money.  I hope the money from fraudulent sales is returned to the buyers and they are informed that they need to buy a license for the image from the copyright holder.

completely agree.  the only part that stinks is that the scammer has the high res original and can just do this again to another site.  something needs to be done bc this is a lot of lost revenue for the actual copyright holder and lots of an agencies time and money is lost due to this.  looks like he is still there at crestock.
