There is one Yahoo e-group that I know about that has a file in its Files Section labeled (what else) "Coccozella." Which may or may not be a bad thing. There are only about 10 images in there, though, and they all have the watermark. So, in a sense, that could be construed as advertising for Coccozella, e.g., "Want to see more? Then join Cocco's site."
I visited the Hush Hush site and didn't find anything that was obviously mined from here. But if what Mr G is saying is true (I didn't look at every single image), they've removed the watermarks and are using Cocco's copyrighted material for their money-making venture -- which is a far cry from what the guy at the Yahoo group is doing.
Cocco and Pixel Dust, please keep us posted.
