Hi All, I have just found out that the apple app corn snake morphs guide for the i phone has stolen some of my pics to use on there and is profiting by it! I have contacted him about 5 times now with no reply! These pics are copyrighted to www.cymru-corns.com and to myself!
I said in my first email that i would allow him to use them and more of my pics if i got credit! But No reply!
No reply to every other email!
We have also found out the eeji from http://iansvivarium.com/ Has had his description stolen for the snake morphs on the app! Word for Word! As his work and my pics are copyrighted to our websites we want crediting for our work!
Please can you support us by commenting even if a little on this thread!

Thank you for your support and hope you all have a very merry Christmas!

I think this app goes beyond 'fair use' and 'use in a review'  Thanks for the link, I'll mail the address provided on that page too. |

Doogle, Eeji, the link below might be of some use to you both:
http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/05/what-you-can-do-when-junk-apps-invade-the-app-store.ars
And this was what one response was:

LMAO! who is Cyber Police? Maybe post on other forums to make them aware so they don't buy the app or see if they can see any other material that has been stolen? |

I've posted on the Apple support forums to see if there's any specific protocol for reporting copyrighted material. Will update once I know more. |

You can also go on app store and find the app and then scroll down WITHOUT downloading it and click Report a problem.. |
