Okay, I stepped in it a bit here. I support trying to create a solution to a problem that is bothersome to a good many and I have no fault with that at all. In fact, in the past I have mentioned to artists that I knew if I saw their picture (or models even) on some other site or gave them a heads up about something that they needed to be aware of in relation to copyrights. I'm not against the cause by any means. And as I said, I think jump had a great idea in creating a lookout for these things, but she also made sure as to pass that info to the original artist, not to take action themselves, as is the law.

In your case, the law is not clear on how to proceed and what authority, if any, you have. This puts you in a very bad situation should legal action arise. Yeah, it might scare little Billy who runs a website, but it's not going to scare a savvy legal eagle who would think nothing of owning your home because he knew the law better than you did. Also, since you are acting outside the law to bring this justice on, it may impede the actual justice that could have been rendered.

These are just things to think about before you go off. I won't say anymore. If people are interested, then it must be right I guess. I just think that a witch hunt by a group that may become overzealous as we've seen in the past is not the way to apply justice to accomplish what you want...
