Old News; Do I Care Anymore? -- Alert! Unauthorized(???) Use by http://mapsights.com/

Randomly, about a quarter of my geo-tagged Pano photos (like this one) are now on mapsights.com without my authorization or knowledge ...

... and no, I did not copywrite nor name-imprint any of the photos I uploaded to Panoramio, relying on their protection instead ...

... (subsequently, I have heard from a big-gallery Pano user [New York/New Jersey] that 'Mapsights' is an API that Panoramio authorized a long time ago to use Pano shots ... don't know how reliable that info is) ...

"Sold?" How could someone sell it?

Same thing I discovered. They have obviously uploaded large quantities of photos from Panoramio to populate their site with places to see and things to do. I've had a few stolen before, but never this many for a single site. (Yes, attribution, unlike some others!)

Yes I have found lots too, but they note my copyright and credit the images to me so I'm not that bothered really
