Who here has their galleries stolen?
I'm getting to hear of more and more people stealing my clients galleries and just redirecting the traffic. Is this common?
Do any of you have your galleries or content stolen and what do you do to stop it? We allow people to watermark images with their URL, pity is few can be bothered. |

Lawsuits against the sponsor and the hosts. But if it's cropped out at least it's easy to prove and provides more work for the thief. You have to put the watermark in different places. |

I found some of my stuff on Fusker.
First, there is a link at Fusker that you can send an email to them and ask that your site not be listed. That means, if the your images are downloaded with fusker, they are banned from appearing in the fusker board. The bad thing is that you have to request the ban at all fusker boards... and there are about 8 of them. Another thing I did was notify their hosting company. I did that with a hosting company in Dallas, and these guys actually notified the fusker site that they were wrong. Immediate action. Just for your information... Fusker is a software that goes into the site and looks for image files. Then it bulk downloads everything it can find... including image buttons, clipart, logos etc. Membership galleries can be downloaded too... but when these are posted on the Fusker site, the membership site normally asks for a user name and password. That means that the member with the password is the only one that sees the picture. That leads to one other point... the pictures posted on fusker sites are hot linked images. So, they steal your images, and they hot link to save download bandwidth as well. Charly, I think the only way to stop hot links and illegal downloads is to password your directories... But that means losing business... cuz if I can't see the face and action arena, then I won't buy. I think you have a pretty good system. More control will hinder sales in my opinion. Which reminds me, I need to get over there and get that $25 special!! |

Visa are currently in court with Perfect 10 and AC lost, both over profitting from theft. It's not my job to make sure a site is not profitting from theft, it's their job. On our site we have a URL on the larger images, content is stolen but it works as an advert to the site. |
