They’re now re-directing to wapstack.mobi.

So far I can’t find any evidence of them running the same scam from that domain.

But interested folks might want to do a whois. Because it reveals full contact details for the .mobi domain.

Not that I’m suggesting it’s the same person behind both sites of course….

Yeah, thanks for the heads up. Got word via twitter and submitted takedown notices to Godaddy and the Registrar Proxy “domains by proxy”

Very happy to see godaddy took them down. It’d be nice if I could get that half hour of my life back.

I have to say Thomas that you have a reach in the photographic community that can get stuff done
Two sites mentioned on your blog as copyrights infringers and within a few days both have been shut down
Very Well Done
Now if only I can get you to give me a boost in traffic and blog about my site!!! LOL

I’d be happy to be involved in shutting down an infringing site any day!

As you find em let us know and we will do our thing
Cheers Richard Keech

Hi Thomas
Thanks for the heads up. I was suprised to find my work there too – taken from Flickr, istockphoto.com (yes it’s watermarked), and my Blogger blog.

I have reported them to both Godaddy (their host) and istockphoto who should have a claim too.

Just out of interest I’ve sent them two takedown notices so far and heard nothing
