I must be being collossally stupid here, but when I click on the en.jojo link appended earlier in the thread I get a forum which seems to have NO pictures, and the search function is disabled unless you join up.

How do I check for my own images?
Are you using the correct link: http://en.jo1jo.com/vb2/ ? I just did a search for divamum and found a few of your images, but mainly mentions of your name in posts from other Grinners. Don't know why the search isn't working for you--I'm not a member of that forum (AFAIK ).
I was able to find one of mine as well. I stopped after I found one and copied Ziggy's email and sent it off.
It was a photo of Wilber and let me tell you he one peed of little duck! He doesn't mind all his friends here on Digital Grin, but is mortified he's being objectified as as a sexual object all over the internet! :smo
As mentioned above, jo1jo.com is registered in Jordan and hosted in Las Vegas by Versaweb, LLC. Our stuff is appearing in the English language section of the site, en.jo1jo.com, but the main landing page is Arabic. If you want to know what's there, just use Google language tools to translate the page--all you need to supply is the URL. I wonder whether they're stealing the Arabic content as well. Wouldn't surprise me.
In the meantime, I have received no acknowledgment of my complaint from Versaweb and the infringing content is still online. Has anyone gotten any response yet?
I have not received any notification even if they read my email....as to translators...the ones on google have only translated parts of the main forums for me and nothing to tell me where the search option is...I may have time sunday or late Monday to send Awais a note and see if he can help out.......Off to see a slide show on Tanzania....taken by John Ellert.....good evening.
25 of mine there... stinks of bot through and through. I expect there are hundreds of others about. Not quite sure really what kind of damage this is doing as the vast majority of posts have no reply. Nothing much really I can do about my images being stolen and used elsewhere, t'is the Internet.

thats right
i dont consider it as stealing
copying an image from internet is not wrong , its allready public
but
duplicating half a forum-site , thats bloody weird
Wrong guys...IT IS STEALING......that is like saying I see your car park on the street, or in a public parking lot or garage...it is public therefore i commit no crime by taking it....and that attitude is what makes it hard to prosecute for this....these images and posts are someones PRIVATE Property PARKED ON PUBLIC FORUMS....but even the forums are private...no different than seeing a purse on a bench in a PUBLIC MALL.....taking that purse will land you in jail for some time....it should be exactly the same for stealing foum posts or images from any place on the internet......
Even our good Friend Awais has had images stolen and used by the Marriott corp ....someone could definitely afford to pay for use...but no it is no crime to steal from a photog for posting his images on the internet.......
I understand it's stealing but without the ability to apply a full level of security on the image, there's very little we can do apart from make take down requests etc. All those images that have the right click function disabled can simply be screenshot captured and cropped out of the screencap.
Totally sucks.
I agree whatever this forum is doing by leeching our actual posts is all a bit weird.
not ,
WWW is public !!!!!!!!!
everyone can copy [ weather it is stealing or not ] you know that on forehand
if anyone want to sell his/her work , they should
either watermark or dont put on WWW at all
whatever you place on WWW is public
so , dont complain ; they copied my pic
DGrin has no precautions either
[ perhaps they should ]
Go over to the NY Times website and take some of their images or just some of their stories and place on your blog and see if they say it is free to use their stuff because it is on the net..........
I just dragged the image to my desktop and had it easy-peasy. No hacker skills required. I really don't see how we could lock down the images on this site, but I will ask...
look at this small Dutch site
no way you copy from there , unless you are a hacker
You're kidding, right?
Any image on the internet can be screengrabbed in 5 seconds. Watermark your photos if you are concerned about blogs forums other websites and your images.

Thank you for the legalese, Ziggy. Sent.

Thanks for the tip, Bas. I found one of my posts, with several of my photos, on the scammer site, using Google as you specified.
I have sent an email to Versaweb as Ziggy did. Pile it on!
Has anyone reported this violation to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center?

i just checked , no copy protection or right-click protection
nonetheless , DGrin should have it ,
especially considering the large amount of pro's here
look at this small Dutch site
no way you copy from there , unless you are a hacker
http://www.nederpix.nl/portal.php?language=english&sid=939b9cbb573bdce04893ee85307295c8
and this is much lesser quality and size then DGrin
as long as people are stealing and copying , you will need protection !!!!

The image.
Point is that there's nothing we can do to truly protect content on Dgrin from bots. All we can do is make it more annoying for the rest of us.
