Dear Drivetribe
Please assist me with a problem I would like to bring it to your attention
This website (www.drivetribe.com) is breaking copyright laws by including images taken illegally from Photographers websites.
In my instance this has been done without asking my permission (Paul Crame) as the copyright owner, the source of the picture(s), is my website (www.paulcrame.com)
In plain English, this website is breaking the law if it publishes copyright images without permission

Here is the link from Google Image Search:

I found my picture via a Google Image Search for “Ferrari 158 Engine”
You may be aware that Google Image Search has recently changed its policy and instead of using “View Image” it now links to “the site that hosts the image”
Google had been accused (by Getty Images) of "promoting piracy" by linking to high-resolution copyrighted images without watermarks
