As a follow-up, I just sent the DMCA takedown notice, so we'll
see what happens!

What's more interesting to me is that Google allows you to search
for image theft as well.  I searched at

   http://images.google.com/

for

   http://www.hort.net/profile/ros/rosru/main.jpg

and it came up with two pages of stolen images.  Tineye (the 
commercial service) came up with one single stolen image.

*NOTE:  You have to click on the camera icon before pasting the
URL for the photo.

The other sites are all in foreign countries, so copyright 
enforcement becomes a lot more difficult.  

What's even more interesting to me is that some of those
other sites are using the stolen copy that davesgarden.com
had.

Anyhow, I thought you'd appreciate an update...
