Brian, this is a good question. I would say that the gallery maker holds most responsibility in this matter. Tracking down individual gallery owners who use stolen content is difficult and tedious at best. Keeping track of which content provider has licensed what picture or movie clip for use takes a lot of work without much payoff. Many gallery pages are hosted by free hosting companies which can make it difficult get the stoeln content removed. The fact of the matter is, that stolen content makes up the majority of TGP gallery pages.. Using software to vacumn websites of pictures and content is common practice nowadays.. Maybe what this biz needs is a well funded system to track down people who use stolen content. Or a guilt inducing advertising program along the lines of ASCAP to remind people that stealing content is a no-no....

:cop: :cop: :cop: :cop:

Does anyone else have any ideas on how to deal with stolen content? Please post it here...
