From what I could tell, fotki is kind of like deviantprints. That appears to be a page within a service.

Especially considering that most of the stolen images still have Title_by_Deviant as the image name, proving violation should be easy. Getting him shut down may not be.

I just filed a letter of complaint with the site. He is actually selling some prints of fanart of Fella, so we may want to report this one to administration, since he is also using DeviantART trademarks.

We'll see what happens since I already reported it to them as a violation. I left contact info, so I'll let you know when they get back to me.

Taking Steriods is just as bad as pretending to be retarded at the Special Olympics.
