Sodahead.com stealing my image? - 01-24-2012, 12:15 AM


This image, on my deviantart page is being stolen/illegally linked to by Sodahead.com. Personally, I'd never heard of Sodahead.com, but then again, I hardly ever deviate from my habitual sites I check. On occasion, I'll google my name and user name and see what pops up and where, just to see what others see. In this case, my search showed me this:



Clicked 'report abuse' on the bottom and put in the note that I was the copyright holder and did not give them permission to use the image on their site and told them to remove it immediately. Is there anything else I should do other than check back every day until they take it down?

Well, I was thinking they were simply linking to my image, but indeed they're hosting it. I temporarily replaced the image of the boy with this:



But since they're actually hosting the file, that didn't show up. :'-(

Oh wow. Robin, that was a great first try with the image replacing. But since that didn't work. Screen capture (done above - check). Now send them a bill.
