I routinely ban people who submit galleries that use stolen sponsor content to promote the wrong sponsors.

I used to alert a few of my favorite sponsors in my niche, but I've stopped. My contact at the sponsor (one of the biggest in the BDSM business) said, in effect "He left our URL on the pics, so I don't care that he's flying some other sponsor's banner instead of ours."

Fuck me, I don't understand that. But I stopped bothering that guy with stolen content reports. I still ban the thieving fuckers though -- I figure if they'll steal content, they'll eventually graduate to redirecting and installing spyware.
