It sucks that the program shut down and is using non trackable links but...a few years back, Steve Easton from APIC (The most unprofessional person I have met), send affidavits to my cc processor, host and their entire membership list. He claimed that I had stolen pictures I was using. I tried writing to him, calling him and all he would say was, I will not talk to a thief. I really don't believe I have to tell you that none of the content on my sites was stolen. But, my host at the time...forced me to shut down the sites until it was cleared up. It was kind of difficult to clear it up since Easton would not take my calls nor emails. Nor did he give example of these stolen pictures. He just said the sites were full of them. I had over a million pictures at the time. I ended up having to ask all my content providers to send faxes to my host and cc processor letting them know that I was the rightful owner. Eastons APIC members also told him that I was far from being a theif.
Anyway...I know this has nothing to do with this thread but, since my experience, I never take one person claiming that someone is using stolen content as gospel. One of the problems is that a lot of hosts do.
