image thief! BLACKLIST
 

Nice |swear| if you find images you paid for in your own submissions - this is rather fresh content from Paul Markham, and I cropped the images and resized them to measurements not really corresponding the original size - so I sure can tell!

Pa doesn't have a 33109 zipcode, so an email to his registrar might get the domains suspended.

Before doing that you would want to be absolutely certain it's stolen content. Size and similar cropping could be coincidence, you would want to do a pixel comparison on a cropped edge.

How do you find out the registrar?

You just have to open one of my images in one browser window, one of 'his' in a second and flip quickly from one to the other...

You really lost me on this one.

Maybe this is a Windows thing or maybe I just don't understand what you mean.

What you should really do, besides blacklisting, is email Charly and let him know.
This person is using Charly's content without a license to do so - Charly can take legal action.

Just comparing them visually at normal resolution isn't good enough of a proof. You need to pop the suspected stolen pic in photoshop along with your known reference pic, from your own files. Go to a corner you know you cropped (might have to check the original to be 100% sure you have the right crop corner, naturally two originals will both have the same pixel edge.) Magnify both corners to the max, and look at the pixels. The chance that two cuts by two different webmasters would leave exactly the same pixel pattern on the edge is very small, 1 in thousands. (look for an area with many colors to make your comparison)

Most whois responses lists the registrar, if yours doesn't try the whois at network solutions. I beleive a letter to network solutions alone complaining about false whois data may be enough to get the name suspended. the culprit is notified and has about 72 hours to prove that the address is valid. A real webmaster should be able to fax copies of an electric bill mailed to the address.

I haven't done it myself, complain to a registrar that is, so I'm not certain of the proceedure.

Here's the internic report form url

Little did I previously realize how much these guys are cheating!! Almost 2/3s of all blacklisted domains in my script belong to these guys!!! |angry|

Have a look at the list in the TGP section - I bet you'll find matches in your blacklist!


no more |peace| for assholes!

I would let Paul know for sure.
