Dude, that doesn't mean they're hosting directly from their ISP. You don't need a domain to host your site.. You can just get a server.
Back to the point though. Seriously, if there was a way to easily detect stolen stuff.. He'll, i'd decline the fuckers and report 'em to whoever deals with this shit. Simple fact is, there is no easy way. Someone buys licensed content, and puts it on a shitty looking gallery 'cause their design skills suck. Another guy steals the content, but his design skills are awesome and look more professional. How the hell am i supposed to know which is real, and which is stolen, and even if one is stolen content in the first place!
If you have content being stolen. You should report them. Afterall, you're the only person that's going to know. I sure as hell ain't going to know am i? It's completely unreasonable to expect TGP owners to police the copyright issues involved with galleries. And for one simple reason, it's fucking impossible.
