22. Talk about image theft.
10 years ago it was my only contact with the Internet, I spent a lot of time chasing people who were stealing my content from a collection of CD discs I had made of my content and scanning from magazines.

What I did not realise was many of the people stealing were doing so because they did not know where to buy from. Ishould of looked on them as a potential customer.

Today if we find someone stealing we go after them, contacting their sponsor, hosting and even URL registration. I think there is money to be made by someone pursuing these people and the sponsors who reguarly allow stolen content to be used for their boards promotion. Offer them to buy a more expensive license after the theft or go to court.

Needs a legal brain to organise it and I'm not that.
