Some asshole has now stolen from me. The Letter

I have contacted the website but had to leave some comments for a jerk that posted his idiotic opinion. Thanks to dorset_rob for pointing this out to me.

I don't see any comments though. must be missing something.

That site has a lot of pics that have been lifted... I looked through the top 10 in the most popular category and saw several that have been lifted from AP photographers...

why do we continue to be surprised/outraged that this happens.

It's like getting bent out of shape that the sun rises. It's just going to happen.

If you post to DPC, and it's a good image, it's going to get lifted. That's all there is to it.

On the Contact page, they have "Is your photo being displayed without permission?"

It would be a pretty safe bet to say that most, if not all, photos are being displayed without permission on that site.

And I see that scalvert's is gone as well.

Removed just 12 minutes after I emailed the Admins, and I got a similar response. That was fast!

I bet if they got notice they were being sued for infringement they'd tell you.
