I was directed to the below site earlier this morning. I found several of my images from JP that were on the site. The owner is removing the copyright bar from the bottom of the images. I emailed the account owner and had my images removed, but all members should check to make sure their images aren't being used without permission.

It would be better to send a message to Instagram, name and shame that idiot and perhaps they close the account.

I've had a few issues with this on Instagram. Several accounts on there are just set up purely to repost images from the net.
The issues that you will encounter on there are the lack of knowledge about copyright theft as a majority of these instagram accounts are run by teenage kids who have no idea at all. Naming and shaming a bunch of kids may really not be the way to go, but possibly a better approach would be to educate them on the matter.
On the plus side, an Instagram image is tiny and realistically wont be useable to publish, print or download, so it doesn't really bother me that much as long as I get a credit.Last edited by B7772ADL; 2013-12-24, 16:17.
