Carol ,a member of NPN made me note that a photo of me, post on NPN, was stolen and placed on www.Pixdaus.com!
I have look around on this site, but i'm not the only one who photo's are stolen and placed there without permission.
Other members of NPN also have photos on it, in the short time i visit this site i saw 5 pictures who are also placed on NPN.
So now, what can we do to that problem, anyone suggestions?

Hey Marinus, I found about five of mine there, and although the people that placed the images did not have the right to do so, they are not claiming it's their image. It has my image and taken by Mike Moats, so as long as my name is attached I don't have a problem with it. My feeling is someone might see the image and my name, and google me, find my website, buy a book or take on online workshop. I'm not condoning this practice, but for me it's not a problem. If the poster claimed it was taken by them, now I have a problem. I.m sure this will trouble many photographers and they will need to take action.
I've been checking around. Take a look HERE. It states the terms of use for the members of one of the image sharing sites.
I don't have a problem with people enjoying my images. That's what I make photographs for! But I DO OBJECT to the SITES' disclaimers followed immediately by RIGHTS THEY CLAIM to have to then use the posted images.
