As a general rule on the internet, do not post any images on any websites that you would not feel comfortable being seen elsewhere.
Copyright piracy is a never-ending problem and Microminimus is not immune to the issue.
If people want to steal images from MM and share them elsewhere they will find a way around whatever we do.
Microminimus watermarks every image that is processed through our system so that if an image is stolen at least the source of the image is known.
For safety, we remove identifying information (aka metadata) contained in your uploaded images.
This removal includes the original creator field.
Digital Millenium Copyright Act.
The DMCA is a legal framework copyright owners & rights holders can use to order an infringing website to remove stolen copyright material (i.e. your images) from their servers. It would be good practice to make yourself aware of what powers you have with the DMCA by reading over these resources:

MICROMINIMUS DMCA POLICY
As the host, we will act on your behalf to take down your stolen images under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA 1998).
As the owner of the stolen images we ask that you report to us with the exact information needed to lodge an accurate DMCA Takedown Notice that follows the letter of the law.
Please complete THIS FORM to report the information required for us to serve a DMCA Takedown Notice on your behalf.
Once we receive your submission, we will submit a DMCA Takedown Notice to the site’s Copyright Agent whom have a legal obligation to remove your images as quickly as possible.
Please be aware, DMCA Takedown Notices do not always result in a successful takedown.
The site owner may be an outright pirate who is not concerned the laws of any land and as such leaves us with little recourse.
Most sites typically will adhere to a Takedown Notice. The weight of the Wicked Weasel & Microminimus brands will jolt fears of expensive legal reprisals should they ignore it.
Simply -
We will do our best to have your stolen images removed if you can give us the information we need to act.
BOUNTY REWARD
Do you suspect a user of stealing images and posting them to other sites?
Bring us their Profile Name, a link to the content you think they stole & why you believe them to be the perpetrator and we will investigate.
