Knowingly hosting Websites using stolen pictures (copyright infringement)

Freewebs.com aka Webs.com is allowing websites that it hosts to use stolen pictures (copyright infringement) from other websites to scam the public. I, as well as several other owners of the stolen pictures, have contacted freewebs.com aka webs.com on several occasions with no response what-so-ever. The websites are still using the stolen pictures misleading the public. We have sent proof of ownership, as well as where the stolen pictures are located on the websites. It is as if freewebs.com aka webs.com condones these shoddy and illegal practices where the websites are scamming the public.

We do not know if these websites actually have puppies for sale or what but with all of the puppy buying scams on the internet, one cannot be too careful.
