Thanks for bringing this to our attention, I too have found one of my own images posted by the user, along with noticing many others from this site, including those of lappino.

I have attempted to contact the site administrators in regards to the matter, I will post if I hear anything productive back.

Kind Regards,
Kyle

Indeed, thank you Bendt. I found four of my photos uploaded there by this user, too (without my permission, of course).

And thanks Kyle for your efforts in this matter.

Cheers,
Jens

which means that the burden of proof rests with those whose's pictures have been stolen and not with the thief....it is a cruel world.

@ Juergen: Registration data might be a fake, as the "Registrant Name: Peter Stoyanov" is the name of the former bulgarian president. From 22. Januar 1997 to 21. Januar 2002 he was the President of the Republic of Bulgaria. Pls see: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petar_Stojanow.

I do not believe that the registrant name is correct. In Germany it is a normal saying that "In some states there is a mafia, but in Bulgaria the state is the mafia."
