Smile He Is probably just an amateur having fun

Why not email him (link is on website) and inform him. If he is in England he is probably clueless. He is not trying to make money or rip anyone so why not just contact him and point out the error of his ways??

Madness is like gravity. All it takes is a little... push.

If TPat's girls are in his collection of "free porn" then I've no reason to believe everything else on his site isn't being distributed illegally.

Hard for me to believe someone who's capable of registering a domain, purchasing a hosting plan, and building a website is clueless enough to not understand how copyrights work.

Also, just because he's not making money doesn't mean he's an altruist.

I'll email him... right after I finish thinking of him as a fool, so my tone won't be overtly aggressive.

1) He is giving away content that doesn't belong to him. Which is illegal, and in England ignorance is no defence.

2) He understands how to remain anonymous, both the .co.uk and .org whois info is "private".

3) Even if he isn't making money, he is stealing potential customers. It costs money and time to produce content, it costs money and time to develop sites to sell the content. We are talking about people legally making a living here, and he is damaging the business as a whole.

He can't give stuff away like that and get away with it. The reason he can't find any "genuine free sites" on the internet is because they end up being prosecuted because they were operating illegally. It's only a matter of time before he ends up in court and if any of those Hooker pics turn out to be under age, then he'll end up a registered sex offender on top of any copyright action taken against him.
