Paul Fearn<https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/paul-fearn.html> seems to have a little business of selling images from WLM and claiming their authorship. In the past others complained at OTRS (https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom;TicketID=10017069# ). Did anybody tried contacting https://fineartamerica.com/contactus.html?tab=contactus to shut him down?
Jarekt From: Commons-l [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Samuel Klein Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2018 1:14 PM To: Wiki Loves Monuments Photograph Competition; Wikimedia Commons Discussion List Cc: Sarah Krichen Subject: EXTERNAL: Re: [Commons-l] [Wiki Loves Monuments] Copyfraud of WLM winners photo Yuck. That said, perhaps we should think about integrating a link to a CC-friendly printshop that can produce prints roughly at cost, perhaps with the WP URL and license on the back. (prints are basically the only service 'fineartamerica' provides.) In the US I use shortrunposters, ~$4 for a 2'x3' print (so, 5% the cost of fineartamerica); I bet there are others.

This competitor send a mail to this website and asked if WMFR can help in any way. So now, I'm sending you this mail to know whether you had to deal with things like this or if you have any ideas of what should be done.
