Flickr username totyonline, though she (or FlickrYahoo) has deleted the image, so you won't find it there now.

For the record, here is what I wrote to her, which got deleted with the image.


ToTy On LiNe: You are infringing my copyrighted drawing in several ways:

1. You stole this image off of my website without asking permission
www.petspictured.com/cats/persian.html

2. You altered the image in Photoshop without asking permission

3. You added your NAME to the image (which is like claiming it as your own)

4. Then you had the nerve to republish the image on the Web without even crediting me or linking to the page on my site where you stole it.

What you have done is illegal, as Ms. Bratt has pointed out. My copyright information is clearly linked from every page:

www.petspictured.com/copyright.html

I have reported your copyright infringement to the Flickr/Yahoo! Copyright Team, who will take down this image for you if you don't do it yourself.

You better study up on copyright law before trying to claim work as your own because you altered it. You are breaking the law.

Good for you! About 6 months ago someone stole several photos from one of my friends. Big mistake! She has quite a following, and I bet hundreds of Flickr people complained! That person is probably blocked by half the Flickr population now. What goes around.............
Yet another to my Blocked list now!

It seems that he/she has learned something from that event. I've checked the photostream and all photos have a disclaimer that they were not made by him/her.
