My issue isn't with this particular issue which I already admitted I took from a Google search.
My issue is the whole nature behind copyright and who owns what and what is really proven.
Your holier than thou nature kind of makes me want to stalk you waiting for you to fuck up.

Retarded for standing up against copyright infringement? So claims the admitted thief. The truth hurts, huh?
Copyright isn't complicated. The letter you received gives a URL of the image. Check that site for the copyright holder's claim of ownership. DMCA rules state a full legal name and address where the records are kept, not a po box, be listed on the site. As I said above, ask them for proof. (When I served DCMA notices, it was done via the Post Office, not email, for proof of receipt. A copy was sent to the host and they got copies of the model releases. I didn't have to prove it to the thief, just their host. They can be held liable, too. This isn't rocket science. Common sense can guide you about copyright and how to deal. If you "borrow" an image, unless the site explicitly states usage is freely allowed without a link back or copyright insignia, it's called theft just about everywhere).
Stalk me? Lol. You haven't a clue if I have sites, or what genre, or if they have images. The old sites I created are not mine any longer. Four years in a coma makes it hard to update sites.
You admitted you stole an image which you claimed you removed. Why not give people here access to check your sites for stolen content? Doing so would allow you to remove borrowed content before you're served as well as removing the thief label.
Holier than thou? You challenged me and my avatar as being stolen. I explained how I got it, rather than telling you to fuck off. You can think it's bullshit, doesn't cause me sleepless nights. You don't like the fact people disagree with you. Oh well. If it makes you feel better to threaten and pick on a woman, so be it it speaks a lot for your character. (And now comes the 'your not a real women your a dood' claim, [mispellings on purpose])
Lastly, the email received does cause concern as it isn't as, well, full of legal bullshit and warnings against non-removal. If you think it is fake, do due diligence and investigate. But don't ignore the email as a joke. Respond politely, apologize, state where it was found and inform them of the removal of their image. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Don't think distance protects you either. I once filed a DMCA with a Russian host. My cousin translated it to Russian for me and the host took down the site. Oh, yeah, retaliation wasn't pleasant for me or the other site owners when the host was hit with a severe three-day DoS attack. Payback is a bitch goes both ways
