We need a petition for someone to genetically alter horses to breed unicorns.

Sean, you cynic!
Sure, the chances of it achieving anything are minimal but demonstrating a complete lack of interest in whether your pictures are stolen or not is certainly not going to get anything done.

Lol, I know, but I don't think I've ever heard of one of these petitions doing anything.  That said, one more professionally written with better examples than two sites that are probably using the poster's work, would likely be taken more seriously...
