When you are a member of APIC you buy the reputation. Yes they are "Abrasive" in fact they are like a Rottwieller with a headache. But what do you want protecting your rights, that or an unknown?

Send a DMCA notice to the webmaster giving him 48 hours to respond, then serve one on his sponsor, host, CC processor or anyone else profitting by his illegal actions. They are all liable.

The crazy thing is Acacia are going to grow rich cos they have a patent on something they did not invent or develope and we can't protect the rights on our images.
