Copyright Infringements by CDNN, Cyber Diver News Network, Scuba Poll, Scuba Linx

One of the worst copyright infringers is Cyber Diver News Network. They have received numerous requests to remove our images from their web sites scubapoll.com, scubalinx.com, CDNN.info, and cyberdiver.net, but are either very slow in responding or do not comply at all.

Several of the Under Watercolours images that you have seen on CDNN web sites are shown below. There have been many others. All of these images were used without the authorization of Under Watercolours, Cuan Law or Lammer Law. The owners of Cuan Law and Lammer Law are NOT sponsors of any of the Cyber Diver web sites and do not support their actions.

We've temporarily shut them down several times by sending cease & desist orders to their hosting company. This infringement is especially amusing since they rate Under Watercolours LOWEST on their Scuba Poll list of underwater photographers. Hey Cyber Diver...If we are so bad, then why are they stealing all our images?

http://www.divepoll.com - lots of info here about CDNN including some who is info! They update frequently and appear to be getting very close to revealing the identity of this online terrorist.

Since posting this page, I have been contacted by many other individuals who have experienced the same vulgar treatment from the author of Cyber Diver News Network. We are currently filing suit against the company and will expose their real identity here. Check back often for updates! If you have had the same problem with them, please contact me.
