After years of watching my photos being stolen I've decided it's time to do something about it.

I'm trying out Pixsy with some solid smaller infringements to see the results.

For bigger infringements I've contacted a handful of IP attorneys and so far none of them have returned calls. The one attorney I was able to talk to said there was a conflict of interest so he couldn't work with me. Interestingly one of the attorneys I never heard back from was Ed Greenburg who has heavily marketed to creatives.

Anybody have an IP attorney based in the United States you can recommend?

I decided to do the same.
I can't recommend a US intellectual property lawyer. But surely there must be good lawyers who take on such cases. I wish that you find them.
A month ago, I started working with a legal organization specializing in copyright protection in Russia (Copydefend). Now they are investigating 79 cases of illegal use of my photos. Hope for positive results.

Good luck to both of you. Planning to do the same soon.

Guys get back if you manage to do something about it.

I'll provide updates. Less theft benefits all of us.

Too early to tell. I submitted several cases over the past week. It will probably take weeks or months for any results. I'll provide any interesting updates here.
