OK, so a quick update. I have done a few things to take action with the help of Doolittle, but this is an arrogant reply I just have to repost since it shows his arrogance. This was a complaint filed by me with his domain company, but this isnt the only action I have made, but I did get this response from him which I am passing along.....
Dear Jeremy Kiefer and Domainsbyproxy.com:
The facts are as follows:
1) Mr. Kiefer hosts a very small size image of 10kb http://www.clearshineclean.com/images/stories/gutter-cleaning/gutter-cleaning-02_thumb.jpg
of an ordinary house with a half cleaned gutter zoomed away on his website and claims that my image is his. This is false. The image I host is over 2.5 times LARGER, at 25kb and is a close up shot that looks quite different and is of a quality not possible from his (crappy) hosted image. http://www.midtownservicesolutions.com/images/gutters (215 x 168).jpg
The only similarity is that my image is also of an ordinary house with half the gutter cleaned. The fact is that there is nothing special about Mr. Kiefer’s picture and that the home in his picture is like that of thousands and thousands of home in my area. I don’t claim to know the location of where I took the picture; I have been doing this time or work on some basis for around 15 years now and NEARLY every house looks similar to my picture and a good percentage (~5%) are that dirty.
2) There is nothing special about gutter stain removal or taking a picture of it. You clean half a dirty gutter and take a picture. It is not hard to do. Any picture taken can look about the same.
In short, his picture sucks and is small and zoomed out; my picture is over 2.5 times larger and zoomed in, and they are DIFFERENT PICTURES. I will be looking into stamping my pictures to prevent my time from being wasted by someone who obviously sits in front of his computer too much.
