Website stealing and selling images

[coastalconn]

I emailed them last night and notified them of my copyrighted images they wet trying to sell.. They quickly removed all of my images. I urge you to do the same if you are on there.. I also got an email back from 500px and they are aware of the website and are investigating it. Of course that web site knows that there are 1000's of people that will be oblivious that there images are there..

How are you all finding your images on their site? NOTHING I search for is yielding any results at all, of mine or other images.

They probably use a randomizer that goes through known archive websites. So your photos could appear now or later. Such a system means they don't see every photo at all; the computer does it all randomly for them. By being random they avoid getting caught as quickly (because people only search once or twice every so often); and they then just need an exceptions addition in their code to allow them to add exceptions for those who do catch them - since most people will stop complaining once their content is down. Of course nothing stops them putting that persons content back up at a latter date

Napster may have tried that route before, but the music industry is more well funded than the photography-- I assume.

Their contact information page...

Which is copyrighted, so unless you have rights to use the photo you can't post it here on TPF according to TPF's rules.
You can however post a link to the page.

If you right-click on any image that comes up, you can see that the image is hosted on their site..... such as http://wallpart.com/adder/preview/2-costa-print-poster-911720398.jpg
