Well,  I have completely proven that they completely harvested data from pedigreedatabase.com.

I sent them an email requiring them to remove all pictures.   

Greedy,  they could have stopped at the pedigree data,  no, they had to go for the pictures as well,.  

Can't allow them to ruin 7 years of work behind this website.

Thank you Oli.  I too noticed my dogs' pictures on their site and your site is the only place I've ever put them.

It's a shame someone wants to be so greedy as to slave off of someone else's hard work.

Actually Oli, if I remember correctly, you started this site in 1997, the same year I started my site.

That's pretty slimy. Are you filing a complaint with his/her host and the registrar?

Videx,

Yeah i did open up schafer.is in 97,  but I didn't really open it up as a social entity until in 2001,  until then it was just me importing pictures and inserting pedigree data.  :)

Yes,  I will be follow this with a formal lawsuit,  since its hosted in the US their law apply,  but of course international law goes for data theft.

I probably wouldnt have done anything if had just been the pedigrees, those are open for all (at least as long as the dog is registered with a kennel club).

But a compilation of open data is protected (I know that) and 65.000 pictures is also very much protected.

Oli, If yiu sue in the US, we'll help you locate counsel.

My dog's picture is up there. Prior to this it had existed at only two locations: my own site and here on the PDB. Nobody asked of they could put the image on their site. Hence, that's theft. And since Oli says 65,000 images were stolen, there are a whole lot of us with complaints against that site. Can this qualify as a class action suit?
