Make a police report and sue him to bankruptcy man...

still can make police report. with police's help to contact multiply, the police will track down his location and identity by IP address.

He can't run.

Sorry guys. This is all i could get my hands on. I still have the window open so it's saved in my cache. I detest people who resort to such methods instead of seeking help to build a portfolio.

If you dont mind, you can attempt to take the site down first by launching a DDOS attack.

And by being discreet, of course.

Probably got criminal intent, as he is in the business of doing such shoots.

This is a civil suit. The police will just file in the report and will not take action. You will have to enage your own lawyer and file charges at the Magistrate Court. And it will take a minimum of 1 year for the case to close.

He had cropped out the signatures of the photos..to conceal the fact that the photos do not belong to him. And in turn uses the cropped photos as portfolio to his potential clients. could be Section 463, forgery or if there are clients who felt cheated and suffered wrongfully, because of that, then forgery for the purpose of cheating? ...any lawyer pls confirm

IF forgery seems to be the direction, then it is a criminal case
