Thank you so much! I click on every Image Source link, and I'm appalled that people don't bother to find out if they they have a right to use an image or not. 99.9% of the time they don't have the right to use it! When i see someone using an image with a CCO license and they take pains to properly give credit the way the license actually requires it, I Upvote, tip and praise them! Positive reinforcement! :-)

Yes I must start doing that also it’s a great idea
One today got me going to write this, because I recognized the stock image from one of my agencies! It was a great article, but it had a stolen image, so no way was I going to reward him. Maybe one of these days I'll start reporting them all. LOL! Maybe that's what it is going to take to waken some people up!
Yes, that probably will be what it takes Diane!
I do it when I find violations of my images elsewhere on the web, but have not reported the ones I have found on Steemit. I don’t think I should treat them any differently going forward. I need to be more objective about it. The agencies collect the past due royalty fee - or else! All so far have been happy to pay up. It beats the alternative for them! If I keep educating, there should be no excuses on Steemit for taking something that does not belong to them in order to make money off it.
