In the photos section, I see some of mine in the "advertising" section - i.e. referring back to SS for sales - but none that are free.

Did you try a DMCA takedown notice for the ones of yours you were able to download? If they're a SS affiliate, they'd risk losing that if they host pirated stuff (wherever they got yours from). Perhaps that makes them more likely to behave and take down the stuff they shouldn't be giving away?

Sites like this usually respond very quickly to an email. I would advise letting them know that SS is your agent and you don't want to have to go telling them about the infringements......

They make their money mainly from affiliate links.

I emailed them and got no response. I see the links tomSS as well. If they're a SS affiliate surely they're aware that many of their images are in the top of the search there.
