I've seen other people on GFY posting about Adult-Empire pirating their content. I managed to get mine off their network quickly. I can only hope it's going to stay that way, but here is how I went about it.
The other day I came across an image I shot for my own production being used in a promo pic for one of their sites. Obviously they didn't have any rights to do so. I assumed they also had more of my content the their members area. I submitted support tickets to both AE and KiloServers (their webhost), insisting the content be removed immediately, and that I wanted a member login to check for more of my content on their network, or I would take legal action. Seeing they are based in some hard to get at country, I knew it was a long shot.
It looks like KiloServers.com and Adult-Empire.com are the same people. I got a response from Kilo that same night, and they had already removed the promo graphic with my photo in it. Today, I got an email from both Kilo and AE providing me with the same username/pass login to their network of sites. I scanned it, and didn't find anymore of my content. I informed them that will be keeping an eye out for anymore violations.

AE doesn't have a public email address, or provide any form of contact info other than their ticketing system.
I hope this helps anyone else that finds your content on the Adult-Empire.com network.
The members area of their network looks like they swiped every photo out of old Yahoo Groups, and leased generic content from other places, or pirated it. Each site in the network is equivalent to a few galleries or a free site. Then they have one large downloadable DVD section.
