What a nerve! Just plain theft!
Simple as that!
Where your photos are concerned you DO HAVE full copyright to them as you are the author of those "artistic works" so to speak - in most countries I believe copyright protection would require the services of a lawyer rather than the police
In fact for those who have discovered other photographers' works pinched by Aicha S (personally I don't even want to hazard a guess whether it is a he or she or it!) it is best to inform the other photographers that his/her work had been lifted and stolen for use as someone else's work - that way you can move quite a lot of irate authors against this person
I had personal experience when a clients' photo (it was a spec home designed by the client and used in a brochure) was "borrowed" for use in another publication without permission - and I was reading the publication and notified the client about it and after litigation in Perth the client was awarded $x for every copy of the publication that was printed (not just sold ones!) - on another case a website used an image that was picked off from the web; supposedly a "royalty-free" image and unfortunately the American photographer discovered his image being used and spat the dummy and he actually puts his images out on the web under the wing of the ImageBank and I can assure you that the website owner had to pay aro $11,500 for the 5 years they had used the image on the web!
!
Someone else mentioned earlier about preventing downloads of the images - I think that can be arranged, you have to check with your website hoster otherwise you have to watermark it digitally which makes any image posted look ugly - ah well, that's now how the world has come to!
