Of course it not a 100% perfect idea of mine but for a start... I am not racist but the easiest approach could be to block all Russian IPs to make photozone.de unavailable for Russians. Of course it's kinda not fair because for sure not all the Russians are copyright violators but it definitely would stop the subsequent infringements. The Russians then could simply say "Thanks" to lens-club.ru and personally to Sergey Borodin for that...

Now he is showing some graphs from review and translates some text parts.

In links above he clearly links to review source, so you can check out all graphs and read everything.

Many guys in Russia do not know English so such translation is useful for them.


If Photozone will block Russian IPs - some guy will just copy whole reviews & make some cash on ads - i don't see any gains for Photozone in it.

I checked allphotolenses.com and was not able to find any Photozone material in 10 min.

Markus, this site shows text ads via Yandex Direct service on pages with Photozone material.

([url=]http://direct.yandex.ru,[/url] look for english variant in bottom left)

This is hightly public & respected company that shall listen to your complaint unless letter will go to some lazy manager

I think they will listen and at least will force Sergey to remove ads from pages with your material.

In best case they will block ads on whole site until copyright issue is resolved.

 

Another way would be to find out hoster of offending site & complain to them with links to all material that should be removed.

But small hoster may just ignore you or Sergey may jump to another hosting (several times will make him think a bit).

 

Looking at news there is some punishment in Russia for copyright infringment, but successful court processes are started by local guys (music/cinema/software) or big companies like Microsoft or Adobe with their offices in Moscow.

If I were you I would not bother.
