Yeah, but Prince wouldn't have hired WebSherriff.com
He would've hired Chuck Norris.

Yeah, Marcus.  That's the group.  :)

Does anyone know how much they charge?  Is it per DAY of checking the net?

Yeah, Adam's right.  Ultimately, this is all bullshit and only comes
into effect if someone does like Prince and hires people to scour the
net looking for instances where someone used your image or sounds and
then pays people to make it so that that situation goes away.

All you have to do is look on YouTube for gazillions of instances
where people have music in their videos that they didn't secure the
rights to and also video and pictures that they didn't secure the
rights to.

So, like Adam says... The only way to avoid your pictures being
"illegally" used is to not post them AT ALL.  That's not an option, so
make sure you put either ARR or a CC license on your media, learn what
legal options are avilable to you IF you catch someone and hope for
the best.

Now that we're talking about this, there's at least one site that
scrapes THIS GROUP and will have THIS POST on it.  I know, because it
shows up in my Google Alerts.

As far as the situation of someone using your picture on a forum,
you've skipped the part where you have to FIND OUT that someone did
that.  NOW you have to find out what agencies you can contact, what
the process is to get him/her to cease & desist, and how much that's
going to cost you.
