  I found images taken from my blog and used without permission on another site. When I clicked on my own image on the other site multiple windows of advertising including porn opened up
  http://quoteko.com/jerry-garcia

  I did a quick WHOIS domain Search and found this site to be using the same IP Address as another site I had this exact same problem with just 6 weeks ago
  http://funylool.com/

  I was able to find a contact email for the FUNYLOOL site and they quickly removed links to my blog when I complained.

  How do I handle this? Who else can I contact…My blog images should not be linked to any advertising or porn!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We cannot help you with your content theft issue here because WordPress.com does not host the site that your stolen content is on. You need to lodge a DMCA takedown notice with whichever web host hosts the site.

  Issue seems to be resolved…I was able to find a contact email addy and file complaint, within hours I got a reply and links to my images seem to be gone from their site.

  Sleazy Characters, this is the second time, two different websites, same contact info

  Thanks for the advice…and for the article too, Raincoaster, very informative
