Here is what might REALLY help!! Write to the e mails at the ISP's that NOTICE: ARE
NOT BASED IN RUSSIA! Send the link to your image (click to get large copy) and if
you want, send the link to your rosity gallery for proof of your ownership. I am going
to do that.
If we all do this, it may actually help!!!

Hi Lyne, Well, The next step when you cant contact the actual site owner is to
contact the ISP that is hosting the site. The ISP will generaly contact the site owner
or bring the site down if enough requests are sent to them about the site illegally
displaying copyrighted works.
I checked on this site and found that the ISP hosting the site appears to be as
follows:

Thanks Lyne! I didn't know they had another of mine there. That one really irks me. I'll send an email to both places. Surely one of them will get through to the right people.

Fantastic news Lyne! Let's hope, with the originators speaking up, that they will decide to shut the site down. I'm sure they don't want all these angry artist yelling at them!

reclicked my image link and now it's a "re-direct" so fast I can't copy it, but goes to a
DIFFERENT SITE with a photo of potatoes!! ?!?! So is my art image still at that other
site but hidden or removed? Is this their way of removing the art?? Curious!

Not sure Lyne but they may have a way of redirecting certain ips and not tohers. So they probly been watching and got your ip and others who have a complient.
These people you are dealing wtih are very smart and computer savy. I think you are fighting a loosing battle and I know you don't want to hear that. Its same as seeing your models on p2p and news groups. :)
