Honestly Mutt... I feel your pain. A good portion of my content is ripped on these girlfriend sites pretty frequently, mainly because I shoot a lot of unknown girls in a very unprofessional type of setting. My content is very homemade amateurish.
With that being said, I truly feel we're fighting a losing battle. No one really cares about this issue... besides the photographer/copyright holder of the actual image. It's not an industry threat so most people just don't give a shit because the niche is hot right now and making people money supposedly.
Part of me just wants to steal their entire tour designs and content and put up my own version of their sites, but stealing already stolen content isn't the right thing to do. Aside from hunting them down or hiring someone in their town to kick their asses, I don't know what to do.
Sure, I send DMCA notices when I find my stuff... but for every 5 pictures I find on a free gallery, there's probably 25 floating around elsewhere. I don't have the time to surf the entire internet looking for my shit being used illegally... and that's where they have us over a barrel.
