Outright Theft

I see more and more spammers using other people's material to post affiliate links (mostly NATS).

I myself get mu Yahoo groups spammed periodically by affiliate posters, which I let go because it's rather a nuisance than a crime.

A week ago the shit hit the fan. A friend of mine discovered her pictures in a group with with a Belize URL on them (.bz). The URL leads to a reputable page through NATS affiliate.

My attorney says you just have to hit them where it hurts most (money), regardless of where they live. His idea was to serve a copyright infringement notice to the US-billing companies and have funds in the thieve's accounts frozen, before you start suing the shit out of them.

It it was my material I'd probably do it in a heartbeat, the only problem is my friend thinks it's not worth shelling out the initial 1000 bucks to kick ass.

Has anyone experience with this.
