I have been producing adult content since 1980 and was involved in the APA copyright Act of 1986. In 2006 the Digital Millenium Act was passed. It basically states that the photographer owns the image even if it is not copyrighted unless he assigns the photo to another party. I will and have reported these people to Ebay and as always I will protect my images and my money on all cases of stolen content. I believe more photographers and videographers should take the time to do so, if you intend to make a living from this you should be professional and take action. Duplicating images is fraud, and fraud in illegal. It will not be the first time that I have caught people on Ebay selling images and I have a simple remedy for it, pay me or be sued.
