  Located on http://fssy.wordpress.com/about/ used a picture painted by Annie Zeno without her permission and with no credits. The image was pirated from her artistswebsite where it is for sale.She is very upset about it and wants to know who did this and why it was done without her permission and why there was no credit at least given to her as the artist. This is theft of intellectual property as her painting. Whoever did this needs to contact her and explain why. Her links have been placed on the actual blog page, so whomeever is responsible can contact Annie. The page was screenshot with the URL to retain as proof til she finds out whats going on.
  Annie Zeno is a member of ArtRave.com and this work was taken from her Fine Art America’s artistswebsite shop. You can contact Annie on Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/annie.zeno

  Really? It’s theft of copyrighted content. The thief may be clueless or may not be, but it is past the point of explanations. Presumably your friend wants the work of art off that website, she wants her copyright respected. Follow the link I gave you above and follow the steps there to get that done.
