I recognized pictures stolen from Bridesandjokers - I have tried to 
contact them through their webform (didn't work) and through their 
email address (bounced back) so if anyone knows a way to reach them, 
please let them know what's going on.  On their website, they 
request that people notify them in the event that someone is taking 
their pictures.

There are probably others, but I didn't look any further than the 
ones I recognized immediately.  

Farthingales' wheel farthingale image was stolen too, and the thief 
photoshopped a corset on top of it:
