That site needed to be shut down period and had LJ not done it soon I would have reported it myself. You don't steal an artist's work and claim it's o.k., you just don't. As an artist myself that just chaps my hide that someone wouldn't understand that. We work too damned hard to have our work copied and distributed without permission just because someone thinks they have the RIGHT to.
I give away a lot of my paintings for free, I donate several of them to charity auctions to be sold as originals to raise money for worthy causes. I would be outraged if the people who bought them made copies and debuted them all over the internet. ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGED!!!
:hugs you tight: You have my love and my support in this. I'll back you in any way possible.
