Website Image Thieves

Have You Got A Problem with Website Image Thieves?  Create A Page Exposing Them. 

Yes, you can ask for your images to be removed from blog sites, and media platforms who use your images without permission or consent. Many idiots think they can just pinch an image online and use it wherever they please without notifying its owner. In the USA, out of of court settlements mount to mega thousands of dollars for those using other people's images, but forget about this procedure elsewhere. It's time consuming wasted energy. Online image thieves know this very well, especially those who create blog and websites, or social media accounts up behind the protection of large multimedia platforms.
Now and then, an image you may have taken or created, may appear when browsing through different search engines. Use the Whois, and grab screenshots, URL links, the web platform where the image is located in, and create a page like below exposing each individual image theft, including the original location source of the image. By doing this, you'll get the satisfaction of exposing each individual image that has been stolen and used. Off course, some image thieves wouldn't give jack crap with this type of exposure. They know large multimedia web host providers have them covered. 

The most common response from image thieves when exposed, is their complete denial of actually doing anything wrong using other peoples intellectual property. Now for example, if image thieves weren't exposed, the image or images would still be active without any remorse or guilt.
It's like muggers and rapists, they keep on doing what they think is right until caught! 

Just a small sample of my overland travel and transit images found on internet search engines - All images bear the © symbol  - I took the images, I created the images, I own the images.

​I have more respect for street thieves and highway bandits - may their curse be upon you! ​​
