Hey everybody - thanks for the tips.
I've come up with a third option that I think will work.
I'm going to send him links to this board so he knows what others think of him and what others think I should do.
Then give him a short time to correct the problem and pay up.
If he doesn't, then I follow the suggestions here and post his name / email.
As for going to his host. Well, you can get his main listed site, but how many others does he have / use. DCMA calls for a pretty exact description of the image in question -- but my $200 content deal is over 10,000 images
Who has time to list all that -- I mean if the host is a stickler and insists that DMCA be followed exactly, like some of them do.
I'll keep everyone posted.
As for those fake Child Porn Charges -- If anybody is up for a long look into that case, here is two links.
Local Tv Stations site:

But, even better. A local newspaper assigned a very experienced investigative reporter to look into the matter. He worked full time for 6 weeks -- reading the charges, looking the the pictures, reading the entire transcript of the motions hearings and trial, and interviewing models, parents and others from all across the country.
His very ong and detailed story can be found here:

You can get a PDF there if you want.
But, I think these two paragraphs from that story say alot about it:
"In examining how this massive child-porn ring evaporated into thin air, one thing stands out: how little law-enforcement authorities understood the law. A review of court documents, as well as interviews with legal experts and participants in the case, shows that cops and prosecutors had far more than their share of misinterpretations, misunderstandings and flat-out mistakes. Some may have been intentional.
"They jumped in with both feet, without knowing what they were getting into," says Andrew Contiguglia, one of Grady's lawyers. "They didn't understand the law, and they didn't understand the facts."
When all was said and done, James Grady understood the law better than anyone."
Take note of the line: " Some may have been intentional. "
The cops made it all up to film a TV show and feed their egos -- nothing in my pictures is different than what can be bought at the local grocery store with models of the exact same age -- as we showed the jury.
