Copyright Infringement and how you may unknowingly fall victim to it this Holiday shopping season.

Last week I found a site called pinsdaddy that steals thousands of artists images from the internet and lists them on their websites (multiple websites) as free downloadable creative commons images. 99.9% of the images on their sites are not however free downloadable content.
