Yeah that sucks for you.

Happens to friends with mining equipment pics. Now allot watermark pictures.

I think there's a free download for it.

The only suggestion i have is to start digitally water marking your pics or a digital signature on them....

Alert your photo hosting site about what has happened and maybe there's something they can do....

Should be pretty cut and dry Jerame, you own the copyright to those photo's because you took them and can prove it. I think it's pretty low that said site would ban you for alerting them about the pictures being your's and that they are being used with out your express permission.

Jereme, are you sure you didn't post that over there when you had a few too many and just forgot?

Track him down like you did the guy that tried to stiff me on my throttle and cruise cables. I know he only lives about 45 mins from me. If you or someone else can track him don i'll go knock on his door.

Yup, just an easy addition in photoshop to add a watermark.
