Dee. Sorry for you really, you are one of those I saw as good people... There are softwares which can find other works of you that were stolen and used for internet. Each work has some kind of mark, formula, or number etc, and known as was taken with your camera. If you find your work in another site and used by someone else, you should ask to remove it immediately. I said much in the past and so much more... for those " ----------" that took my privacy away from my private life, my private computers, my family's private life, and our phones.. There is much work on my private computers... and too many peepers to peep on me and my work.. Call them spies..So Dee... What would I say... ? Thank you to ALL THOSE PEOPLE STOLE OUR PRIVACY... If it happened to me... it happened to many of you naive artists... I wish you luck.. If they stole one work of you Dee... They stole much more and You still don't know it... There is no forgiveness to those took privacy from us. Even if I do believe in forgiving...

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.
