I have had issues with people posting, stealing and copying my work from Pinterest. Most if not all sites have a legal contact (DMCA) to remove infringements. It’s an ordeal for sure and so time consuming for artists to have to deal with this all of the time. I watermark my art to death now and still find it on unscrupulous sites WITH the watermarks intact! Now, I pick one day a week to run my work through Google image search. If my images are in places they shouldn’t be, I report them and if I can, strike the user who posted it. Some countries are tougher to get them removed but you can use Whois to find a contact and at least attempt it. Laws seriously need to change in favor of intellectual property. The EU just passed a law that I think might affect everyone. It makes sites accountable in addition to the users. It appears sites will have to use upload filters to catch infringing material the moment it is uploaded. The internet is both a blessing and a curse.
