Regretfully I have found my way hear to ask that business be made profesional and request that a copyright of The Log Connection images are not only to North America. Russian log home companies have stolen our images and are now using them as there own. The Log Connection shares a lot of designs and we are not opposed to companies linking to them. Your buyer is in Russia, I'm possitive you will not loose the project to a Canadian log builder.
I have seen our designs are very popular. Very very popular in Russia. (& Croatia.) So much so that they have been stolen from our site and placed onto other log home company web sites. Can you answer this: is copyright law in Russia is ignored and can any company steel and use the images and proprietary information from another company without consequence?
If you need an example check this out: (there are a few more but this is the worst!)

It's not right! Can anyone advise how to stop this?
