It depends on what license the owner has on the image on Flickr.
If it is your photo, and you do not have a CC license of some sort on it, you will need to send the site a Notice of Copyright Infringement. No one else can do it for you.

I was able to find my photos there with two clicks. They are pulling all public content from Flickr, ARR and CC, as thumbs, and the pages are filled with advertising. I'm sending a take-down notice off.
It'd be a plus if Flickr cut off their feed.

Did you opt out just now? Or had you opted out earlier, and the images are being pulled in spite of that?

Ok, then this isn't likely to be an API key that Flickr can pull.
I think they can, however, block the site. Nothing is likely to happen until next week, however, when staff come back to work.

Isn't it about time Flickr feckin sorted this out????
This crap's been going on for months. Surely the "API" should have been sorted by now....after the hundreds of threads complaining about it.

JPaul23: to reiterate the above, this has nothing to do with Flickr's API.
And this isn't a problem that really can be permanently sorted out. If people's pictures are visible to the public internet, then it's possible for malicious sites to pull them and jam them in amongst the ads for discount giavra and package holidays. It's always going to be a matter of finding them and shutting them down individually.

@matt
There is something odd going on here. It appears to be doing some form of search using a widget from here:
www.aboutus.org/GoSearch.com
the interesting thing is that I have a unique tag on flickr "Anasimyia contracta" which currently does not appear on either the google or yahoo image search, yet this site gives the thumbnail as the second hit.

Walwyn, if it's this photo (not linked to help preserve its uniqueness):
flickr.com/photos/55228353@N00/400164599
that's Google's (not Google Images) first result for that phrase when I looked just now. The aboutus search widget seems to be using Google's search API (at least, it gives startalingly similar results, including the same "did you mean X?" messages).

Thanks matt.
Interesting if it is ferreting into the web search result to get thumbnails though.

That was the way this sort of thing was done before there were general image searches, and can still provide much more useful results than straight image searches as well.
E.g, compare the two different searches for your tag within flickr.com:
Normal Google search
Google Image search
It's a little more work to extract the images from a non-image search, but it's not actually difficult, especially if you limit the domain to Flickr (since the format of the image URL is known, it's down to a very simple search within the source of the page). And it definitely works better.
