What is Adult Empire?

[LandL]

I was checking a TGP site where some of my galleries are posted and I noticed a model that hasn't had a site in years (I don't know if any of you stocking lovers remember the 'Seamstress'). So I clicked on her photo and I was brought to this page:

http://galleries2.adult-empire.com/8...4383/index.php

Which has her photo on it, a image that looks to be from PinupWow and another one that looks from GirdleBound (free gallery) and text that states:

"sample photos from Retro Lingerie Fetish member's area"

huh?

I clicked on that link and landed here:

http://sites.adult-empire.com/8943/?rs=1

Now there are JOIN US links with a photo of Astrid, Dita, Louise (nylons), and various other fetish/stocking models.

So what it APPEARS, is that they are blatantly trying to sell a membership to OTHERS copyrighted photos? Do I have that right? Anyone else come across that site?

(Geoff--FYI, more Astrid here: http://sites.adult-empire.com/8381/?rs=1)

UPDATE: Uh, just did a quick search on another forum: http://m2.gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1085962 I guess it's well known :-/
