Last month at least 5 out of 8 pictures in the Theme Gallery have been

I wrote 2 mails to TLC and got an answer, that they would react on it. But
now the builder of the month is announced and you can see: nothing happened
at all!  A pirated picture has been voted and announced as winner for the
Theme Gallery.

I'm really disappointed again about TLCs behaviour on this. They don't want
us to pirate their pictures and most AFOLs do respect that, but vice versa?

What's your opinion on this?

Jumping in late here, but I think it stinks.

Did anyone manage to snap screenshots of the stolen images being displayed
at their site before they wiped them out at the end of the month and started
fresh with this month's stuff?

IMHO, it would good if we as a community had hard documentation of this in
case the matter worsens...Or perhaps to print on hardcopy and send to LEGO
attorneys to make them aware of the issues.
