Art Theft on Adult Paysite

As posted on my FA journal, I received a message on FA from another user who said they found my art on a certain newly-popped up adult paysite. I Googled the page and it looks like the site has pretty much stolen the entire FA.

So, what should we do about it? :)

Yeah, looks like they MAY be coloring over stuff, too? There's a picture by Fluffball (http://www.furaffinity.net/user/fluffball/) on the front page, but I think it's colored since the guy in the middle looks a lot like her character Cheshire.

The Fluffball picture on the front page is definitely recolored-- Fluffball does all of her art traditionally, and the image on that website is obviously a digital recolor. Having trouble finding the original, though, but I'll keep digging and see if it turns up.

Um, yeah - Hi. This is Fluffball here.

That image 'is' one of my own, back when I first tried my hand at digital artwork (obviously, I was not very good at it). Just needed to clarify that.

I'll post the original sketch on my gallery tomorrow to verify I am who I claim I am. XD

Oh, duh. I didn't even clue in to that.
