Hi, all flames aside, I have a request relating to this site.

Someone hosted by coppermine are apparently using my pictures to pretend to be me.  I figured I could contact coppermine to have them taken down (I have copyrighted proof of the original pics), but the contact board is apparently disabled.  So I thought I'd use the forums.  

Any suggestions?

Please provide a link to the copyrighted material.

(I am not clear as to what you are saying, so providing the link should help.)

Yes, sorry.

Here's the link of the original pics:

... and the link of the pics that someone who claims that she is the owner:
http://www.downloadpornwithdavo.com/gallery/index.php?cat=10137

I tried to contact the adminstrators of that site but there is no link.

Hopefully contacting the host (coppermine) of that site will help.

Ahh, I understand now.

Unfortunately, you have made a mistake.  Coppermine is a software application, not a webhost.  People download Coppermine Photo Gallery and can use it on any webhost that meets the software requirements.

To solve your problem, you need to use the WHOIS service to determine the owner of the site and the site's webhost. Please go to:

http://www.networksolutions.com/en_US/whois/index.jhtml

Enter in the domain name as shown in the example, and the results should have contact information for both the site owner and the webhost.

Your help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks:)
