Stumbled across their site and called them to get info about rims....they seemed cordial. Just checking on your collective knowledge of vendors to see whether youve transacted with them before --> Engisoft in FL

Since they've stolen a lot of pictures from us (and other companies such as Mercedes-Benz), and haven't responded to our requests to remove the pictures, I think we'll have to see if they answer our lawyers. If they default, my understanding of copyright law is that the penalty is $150,000 per infringing exhibition, possibly plus any profits.

I am curious why a company resorts to using pictures from other sources. Do they not really have any products to sell? It would be simple enough to take a picture of their own products.

Hmm, does not say much for their integrity for starters, does it? :-(

Wassup Dean? That's terrible - hope it all works out. I would suggest putting a "watermark" on those pics with your company name across it ("Da EuroPimp" maybe? ) so these guys will have a hard time using them.

I have a wholesale account with them, and they are absolutely horrible to do business with. I try to call pricing for customers of mine, and they always seem to be busy on the phone or they close early, and when I mean early, I mean around noon!

What business is open from 9 - noon?

They are kind of sneaky... they edit the picture to a funny size, and then add their watermark. So now we've gone to watermarks over the whole picture!

Coming back to Europe anytime soon?!
