Everyone should take a read and see what some might be doing to grab images and try to invent themselves into something they are not on the web……
Just think if they spent the time working on their own career…..vs. inventing one with others work…

I'm pretty sure she has now blocked me and will likely do the same. All links should still work. PLEASE post here or email me if you have any links that I missed or anything I should add.
I'd suggest that you guys go through her links and make sure she isn't claiming any of your work. If she is, take the appropriate measures and let me know. I'll add you to this post! * We aren't going to put up with stealing*, right guys?!
Edit: She doesn't seem to take much of this seriously. https://plus.google.com/101061346397172471758/posts/ek3xDrFw43H
Thanks goes to +Olav Folland & +Giuseppe Basile for their discoveries.

+Brent Burzycki Great move to mention Brian Rose on this, Brent. Well done. Uncircled and reported the person in question.
Brian is good people and a huge advocate for us all here….
Well said +Brent Burzycki
Congrats on everyone doing research on this during holidays.
At the very least there is no High Def stream on google+ exposed for free public access like Flickr.com +Brent Burzycki – it becomes very difficult to catch photo thieves like Manik Photographe when sites like Flickr.com give such easy public access to high resolution photo streams.
Google+ is also secure because traceability and identification of the true original photographer becomes a lot easier on a medium where multiple photographers can also communicate and simultaneously identify the problem and the original photographer and you have access to the worlds largest search engine as your backbone along with access to Google adsense accounts so google+ great place to be.
