I'm surprised that SS and DT didn't pick up on the copyright infringement there.

Race, funny you should say that because I noticed there seems to be a lot of silhouettes being featured images lately . Wonder how many of these are from there.

that surprises me even more.

Dirty. Think there's a few others that have done the same thing on SS too. Wonder how long it'll take SS/DT/ the copyright holder to notice?

looks like no one from the agencies reads this forum, should I inform the sites do you guys think?
-
Yeah, I'd let someone know. It's always a good idea for the community to police itself too. I've gotten a heads up about one of my images being resold and was grateful.

I let them know but no action has been taken. Seems pretty clear cut as all the files are pretty much identical both to each other and to that font. Maybe they're not bothered till the orginal copyright holder gets in touch?
