Av stealing is my biggest peeve. Granted there isn't much to be done about it. I wrote many, many polite letters to site owners requesting they remove my avs or give credit or a link. Finally got tired of the nasty letters I got in return basically telling me to go to H-E-Double Hockey Sticks. :)
Last month I wrote an 'open' letter to those stripping my galleries and posted a link to it at the top of my main page. I stated that I would start posting the names of the worst offending sites on my main page...and that their site names would come down when my Avs came down from their galleries. (I'm not talking about a few avs here and there...one site has taken almost 300 and they've taken more since the letter went up.) I feel this is fair warning. If they choose to ignore the letter, that's THEIR problem.
May be a bit drastic, but turn about is fair play. They 'borrow' my avs, I 'borrow' their site name. *grin*
