Title: Whole site consisting of stolen microphone images
Post by: Yay Images Billionaire on August 26, 2013, 01:50
I thought this site may be interest to those of you who have microphone images. This excuse for a blog seems to be running entirly on the traffic it generates from stolen watermarked stock images.

One of my images is is the site folders but does not appear to be on any page yet. I assume that means I cannot ask to remove my photo.

Same as I've pointed out before. People can steal and use our work, until we catch them. Then they remove it, no penalty. What's that do? Nothing, and unless or until we find someone who stole our image, they get to use it free.

In simple terms, we have no rights and there's no deterrent image theft.
