For instance an aol based website is under the authority of aol. Stealing artwork is also a copy right infringment. I could theoretically sue them. Theoretically, mind you. I understand that if my work is on the internet people are going to steal it. That doesn't mean it doesn't upset me when I find out about it.
How is it stealing?
As far as I can tell, internet art isn't producing any revenue (except for pop-up click-thrus or porn pay sites). So, is merely transporting the image from one server to another and linking it on another site really stealing?
