Perhaps I was a bit presumptuous but I emailed TLC, explaining that you had
been plagiarized and asking that they quickly resolve this issue by pulling
the offending entry. I also pointed out that their hosting of your picture
violates copyright laws, and requested that they put a direct link on their
'Theme Gallery' web page for reporting such issues (as this will probably
happen again). My thought was that if enough people say, "hey, this is a
problem and you need to address it," TLC will do the right thing and do it
quickly. I apologize in advance if I'm sticking my snout where it doesn't
belong and I hope you're able to quickly resolve this matter to your
satisfaction.
