Fraudulent use? posted on 17th of september, 2011

Some weeks ago I used the "report misuse" feature regarding the following site:

WATERMARKED IMAGES

Since then NO answer from site owner, and NO answer from our support.

AND NOW?

What to do in such a situation?

	Looking now at the website there could be an issue with language..hmmmmm - posted by BCritchley on September 18, 2011
	Have you contacted the site giving them links to purchase the images before you take further action? Offer a time frame for them to buy the images such as 7 days. No one comes back to you after the above action, consider submitting DMCA, on of our fellow members has put all the info on this on his blog here: DMCA Just a couple of options :-) Brett - posted by BCritchley on September 18, 2011
	DT actually did answer to my report by saying that they had got it, just that there was no further feedback. - posted by Physi28 on September 18, 2011
	I do not understand people who use images with watermark - that makes such a bad impression for professional business!!! I totally agree with Diavata! - posted by Mariaam on September 17, 2011
	Going by their banner (I don't speak the language) they are a business of some sort. That makes me wonder (again)... how can a business expect to be taken seriously with watermarked images? That just puzzles me - posted by Diavata on September 17, 2011
	Seems clear to me that dreamstimes watermark is almost invisible on bright images at least .Maybe its time for them to change it to something that is more evident in order to deter fraudulent downloading by these.....thieves. - posted by Brianarbuthnot on September 17, 2011
	Very strange that Dreamstime haven't responded to you yet - posted by Homydesign on September 17, 2011
	Yes, I did it this way @Homydesign - posted by Cristalloid on September 17, 2011
	Have you reported it on the new Dreamstime form? http://www.dreamstime.com/license-infringement.php - posted by Homydesign on September 17, 2011
	I also have reported images which were mistakenly identified but got newer any response. - posted by Physi28 on September 17, 2011
