I think you need to hit it in 2 ways. 1. make it more difficult for them to get your work. R'osity need to deal with this by increasing their security or in the very least their warnings. A warning should appear at the top of every image. 2. This is a big community of artists, and I am sure most of you are also members of other communities (shame on you ;p) Get lots of petitions signed, send them in to governments, push for legal rights etc.. Taking images without prior consent is theft and should be dealt with in the same way it would if I walked into a gallery and lifted a picture of the wall and walked out with it. Copyright for artwork is copyright regardless of local copyright laws are concerned (from what I have been told) Some years ago I had some artwork stolen, I was not using the net to show it off. The artwork I did was hand drawn, I had it made up as a set of prints. Someone bought my print and used it to create their own set of prints. The problem I had at that stage was proving that the artwork was created by me. This will also be the same when posting on the net. Hands Off My Artwork (HOMA) as the collective would be good but it should not (no matter how satisfying it would be) be a lynch mob. If that does not work then instead of being a struggling artist and going away and cutting off your own ears.... I forward the notion that theft of my artwork should carry the penalty of.. cut their thieving hands off and slap them around the face with the soggy end. Boy I'm getting wound up now. Best go get some more caffeine. "power to the Poeple" and all that see y9ou all soon.
