Photo Web Site Offers a Wall of Shame For Image Thieves

sandbagger (654585) writes "Stop Stealing Photos is a resource in the pro photographer community for protecting consumers. How? By identifying wannabes who use images in their portfolios that they did not create. In this case, one 'photographer' built a massive social media presence, in many platforms including Linked In where he includes System Architecture in his skills. However, such advocacy web sites are very manual and often run by non-programmers. How can the tech community help consumers in protecting them from phoney on-line presences? Or is this vigilantism?"

    Title pretty much says it all. Only thing technology related is the fact that it's a web page. But then again, what is on the Internet that isn't a web page? (And for you pedants, I know about ftp, ntp, nntp, etc., so don't bother pointing out the slew of TLA and ETLAs out there.)
