Have you known anyone who stole your photos from your site? or a forum you posted your pictures too?
was it a individual or a company? What were they using the picture for?
What did you do about it?

No, but they're not really worth being stolen.

Don't think that way. Everyone's photos are worth something.

I've had a couple yoinked form sites, always low rez stuff, not good for much. The latest, a hummingbird photo was taken, but used to paint an image. They then posted both side by side. I was somewhat flattered, so I let it go. ....B)

Why so serious?

Not that I know of. It might have happened and I never noticed. I tend not to post that much of my stuff online anyway, stuff that is worth something to me is watermarked.

I don't think there is a way aside from spending all day searching sites that you would have 100% confirmation of this?

Unfortually, someone had stolen photos of me years ago right off my website, burn all of them to a CD and sold the CDs. As far as I know, no one has stolen any photos I took, just photos I was in. :(

I know of someone who had photos taken and used for advertising. Not sure what happened. I think she may have gone after them.

Actually you can use www.tineye.com/plugin to trace photos from your site. It is a browser add-on that does a fairly good job of it.
