Well first you can't run a site owner out of business because people post stolen art on their site...it even happens that people post stolen art here on rosity.Combine this with the fact that this is another country and you've doubled your dilemma.I dunno how many more people are posting stolen art there but I conversed with the site owner there for two days as well as other Russian site owners (thought it was a Czech site at first lol),if you go there thinking you'll run them out of business or start making threats or demands you can often forget them working with you to correct this...they not only have our works there but artists like Frazetta and a lot of Disney stuff. So remember to treat these people with courtesy if its your art and send them the links to prove it...if its not your work then contact the person whose work was stolen because they're the only ones who can act and if they don't then tough noogies.They removed all the works I found there and banned the artist that posted them...thats all rosity does,thats all that any site in the U.S. does so remember that~if you want legal action,hope you got deep pockets dude cause no lawyer is gonna take your case for the chicken feed we'll get for our works (cause we're not famous lol). But don't just complain...contact the artist if its not your work,contact Disney and whoever else's work you see there.They won't remove it till the owners ask and the Russian government won't act unless someone like Disney takes them on.
