I don't know if it's too late, but the best thing to do would be to not click on any links to his site from this forum, or even email him at all because then he knows who's watching. Once I had to get an entire game pulled off a web site because it was ilegally using my work in it. If everyone got together and emailed the hosting provider instead, (you may actually have to provide a written letter but how hard is that?) it would have a greater impact, but in this case it's not just one photo from one person being stolen. It's a collection of stolen photos, so the hosting service should be more likely to do something permanent about it if more than one person complains to them. There are enough disgusting captions with sick photos other than the "free cat" picture to make it clear that this scumbag is exploiting animals the same way that internet pornographers do. He's just using them any way he sees fit to get traffic and make money.
I just saw this on the site.... Guys just give up, if you don't like it don't view it simple as that, it's clearly not for everyone.

You give it up. I already suggested that nobody should go to that site. It doesn't need to be repeated. Obviously, you haven't really read this thread. It's not necessarily about whether anybody has to like the site or agree with their content. It's about whether people approve having their photos stolen and put up on a site that illegally claims copyrights to them. You don't know what it's like to have your work stolen to make money on another site. Before you play devil's advocate you should either do your homework, or keep your fingers off the keys until you actually have a clue about what the subject matter is about.Originally posted by WellingtonCats

I'm not referring to the bit about theft.
I've actually read the whole thread, so don't accuse me that I haven't, TYVM.

Listen guys, there is not just an issue with copyrighted images, there is an issue with the site taking images of animals hurt or photographed in bad taste or some even perverted like the dolphin one. I agree it's a person's choice whether or not they view this site, but do you really feel a site that posts photos of animals in this way should be allowed to do so? Trust me there are some bad images on that site. Sam, I'm almost positive your mother wouldnt want you to see these images, noone should have to see them at all! that's why we are wanting to do something about this. Not just for the people whos work has been stolen, but for the animals too.
I just checked that link and it looks like it's no longer there.....
