Someone stole some photos off my website, and now is filing DCMA take down notices against my website claiming copyright.

That's the world we live in now.

I literally cannot just share my photos with the world without becoming a target for some complete arsehole. It's not enough that people try to hack into my social media accounts every day, or flood my mobile with scam calls, or try to rip me off when cancelling a tour... I now have to waste my life responding to this shit too.

This is so horrid. It's too bad there isn't an easy way to "break" the image--watermark, hidden comment in the file data, anything--that makes it difficult for creeps. So sad this happens to creative people
