Ooooh, Morphius, stealing posters design pics and using them - that sent a chill up my spine. Nerida pointed to that danger recently, great that you brought it up again!

Goodness - can't believe this! This is blatant infringement of copyrights!!

I would have already fired off the DCMA, sent direct emails to the search engines (just in case), sent a cease and desist warning to the companies main email address and banned his IP from PG and PP...for starters.

Johnny built the site last August, Jeremy's been up for years. A DMCA takedown ... piece of cake.

JShepherd,

Since you can provide the picture of matinee style, now I am willing to believe that yours are original, though we never copy a single picture from your website. Okay then, I am willing to remove the pictures instantly.

By the way, I respect you as the founder of the pearl-guide.com, which is a informative website. Why I agree on this issue is just because I want myself to be convinced with enough evidence.

Good luck!

Thank you. Please also credit Pearl-guide on the other pages. This is a community, so you are welcome.

Nothing is more frustrating than seeing your pictures and work being used on another website.

But I got a good laugh from this thread. With the basic defense, I didn't steal your photos. I stole someone else's. Atleast he took the photos down.

Hi Jeremy,

this is exactly why i stated it on the other thread.

We have sort of given up after more than 10 years, every time one of these kind of sellers has been held 'responsible', about 20 others are already in starting position. It is very frustrating, but whats worst the buyer wont get what she/he paid for.

Oh i remember how much fun we had ordering "our own" stuff, we got shipped all sorts of things but somehow never what was pictured, must have been our monitor settings or something...
