See if your work is in this shop. This lady is a big time infringer.

Lucky me I don't make Vectors for her to steal. But please help someone who doesn't understand the art side. How does she copy others vectors to easily? Is this a matter of download a sample, make a SVG and upload or how is it so easy for people to do this?

There are numerous pirate sites they can download it from. I'm not going to link to them, but they're almost impossible to squash. The files are usually in EPS format, but it's a simple "Save As..." in illustrator if they want to to convert it to a SVG.

Thanks, got it. I thought they were actually doing some work somehow. So these people are even worse losers than I suspected. Yes I know the free sites, I've seen mine on many. My least favorite of all time was one that searched for images on websites, like my personal site, then linked to the image, so in effect I was hosting the images for their users to steal from me.
What made it enjoyable was going and editing my site code, changing the name of the real photo and replacing their spider linked image with one that said in large red letters, "This site steals images and bandwidth" I haven't looked in years, but it was up for 2 or 3. I hope their user enjoyed the education.

Had one of my designs (now taken down after DMCA) but I can see other SS contribs work on her site. I dont know why these sites let these thieves continue to have their portfolios up when they have been proved to be breaching copyrights.
Sedge:
Lots of Etsy shops selling the same digital downloads of photography, most of it illegal. Here's one of the worst offenders:
