Anyone know how to speak Russian?

[John Stutz]

There is a Russian web site that is posting stolen images from virtually all of the notable photographers in the industry. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what this site is purporting, and who I might contact to send the cease and desist request. I'm sure several other photographers who monitor this board are impacted as well.

The web site is http://fitnessmodel.narod.ru/photoalbum.html

Your help is appreciated.

For starters, I'd like to know the gist of what this web page is saying. Doesn't have to be a full translation, but a summary if you will. Are more of our photos being shown in the member section of the site? Or are these front images just there to entice membership. Those sorts of things. Also, I'd love to get a contact e-mail address off the site.

Thanks.
