This is relevant to my interests.

Seriously.

Anyways, glad that this person got what was coming to them, although it would be nice to see one of these bozos made an example of, big time.

I wish I was a cat.
" ...Cats can conserve energy by sleeping more than most animals, especially as they grow older. Durations of sleep are various, usually 12–16 hours, with 13–14 being the average..." http://www.catfacts.org

but yes, back on topic.... I can't understand how the woman faux-photographer even begins to rationalise stealing other peoples photos and passing them off as her own. How did she slept with herself regardless? And the husband obviously thought it was OK too! So many people born without a conscience.

^ And how on earth could these people expect to get away with it? And not foresee the potential public shaming/humiliation looming??

Back on topic, with how often I wake up with my cat on my head... there is no way he sleeps for 12 hours at a time!

Yeah, that's a variation of the stolen camera finder, where you drop in a picture and it searches by the exif data for your serial number. Not 100% reliable, but, it work fairly well.


I'm pretty sure tinyeye and google search doesn't use exif

yes, I don't think my cat sleeps 12 continuous hours either. She's inclined to wake at the slightest muscle twitch.

....back to the other topic...cats are smarter than a lot of humans out there....

You sell your gear and find a new career path. Seriously. I got to see some of it before it was completely wiped. She deserved every bit of it; and she deserved to be put out of business. She had no remorse for what she had done. She was just trying to save face. It's one thing to steal some images if you're a noob, but to take it to the level she did was utterly baffling. She obviously had experience in design and marketing. She completely knew better.

You change your name and move, hopefully she doesn't and will never be able to work in the industry again
