Bad Guy Reptilesncritters.com - Thieves

The way I see it, they can remove all the photos that are being used without permission at one time and be done with it or they can stay on the front page of Fauna's BOI for however long it takes to weed out all the stolen photos, one-by-one. A smart business man would make the choice that damages his business the least.

Yes, well, for some reason it seems to me he's not really all that interested in the reputation of this business.

It's occurred to me to wonder if he's got investors who might see things differently, though...?

He doesn't seem to have much pride of ownership, and that occured to me as a possible explanation, at any rate.
 
The really sad thing is that this guy mentions he does web development. Any web developer knows about image copyright law, and that it's unprofessional and immoral to use images unless you can confirm they are public domain or get the owner's permission.

He might have no problems getting business from bargain hunters, but upstanding people will not buy web services nor animals from such an amateur.
 
It looks as if Reptilesncritters.com is making an honest effort to rectify their copyright infringement issues. As a result I consider this matter closed for now. However, if they revert back to stealing images, we will be back with a vengeance.
