There search engine makes it very simple to see who the hell is posting your stuff in the first place, makes quick work of finding the original offenders. (I have found 3 new guys I didn't even know about in just a few minutes.)
I'm more apt to work with guba using this information to actually go after the source. So, since they are working with me to get these guys and let me use there information to do it, I'm going to look at it as a service and a time saver for me. Maybe become a once a month thing, just do a scan to see who's doing what with my stuff, and then go after them.

Has Guba offered to pay you restitution and damages for their use of your copyrighted material and/or loss of potential income because of their use of it? Or is giving you access to their site and the use of this search feature what they consider to be a fully equitable trade?
Sorry, but as beneficial to you as the story sounds (which is great for you)...it still sounds like a singular and superficial bandaid to a much larger wound that can't be healed - until the day they remove ALL copyrighted images they don't own and switch to hiring their own models, photographers, photo editors, lighting staff, etc. and doing things the proper legal way like the rest of us.
