->> I know this is an old and over discussed issue, so I won't get on my soap box about illegal use (yet again).
However, I felt I should give you all a heads up about this site http://www.athleticteamsports.com/ using copyrighted content solely for the purpose of generating revenue through blog ads.
I found a couple of my images and a bunch from Getty and have already taken the appropriate steps to have this person contacted on my behalf.
Times are tough enough without having some bozo ripping us off on top of everything else.

| ->> Actually it looks like this guy is taking articles from other sources and putting them on his blog, did you look at his list of "contributors" Do you think they are volunteering the content? |

Ric, it gets worse - my horse died Thursday. I guess since I've been so blessed for so long, it's just my turn for a bumpy road. Oh well, what can you do except keep plugging on with a smile on your face?
Regarding the registry look up, thanks for the info guys. I already did this and found out it's one of the boilerplate blogs for making money through AOL or something like that. I'm just letting my editors deal with it.
And Juli, to answer your question, I seriously doubt the articles are being used legally.
Cheers,
Jody |
