~~~~ MORE ART THEFTS? ~~~~

Lately I've been seeing a lot of art theft around. It is very disappointing seeing your own work that someone else posted on another image hosting sites. First there was some issues with Photobucket. Now I was just browsing tinypic.com and found a few images I've seen here on dA. Just want everyone to be aware and I want to look out for you guys, that's all (whether you are the one who uploaded them yourself or not). Are any of these yours? [link]


* Don't forget to check out the following:

.................. 10,000 PAGEVIEWS + PRIZE GIVEAWAY ..................

:w00t: Almost close to 10,000 pageviews and I want to thank you for the support. :dance:

The first person to NOTE me a link to their screenshot of my profile page with exactly 10,000 pageviews will receive a gift personally from me. And the prize you'll receive is a set of brand new colored pencils (24) in a tin case. :star:

OMFG! That is awful! Greedy bastards are too lazy to make their own work, so they think they can just go and steal other people's works!? *Takes out two chainsaws and revs them up* I WILL BE THE ONE TO TAKE THEM ON! THEY ARE PLAGIARIZING! LETS BAN TOGETHER AND STOP THESE ART THIEVES!

I agree with you though, that is so evil, taking someone else's work...to those who had their artwork stolen, I am sorry.
:iconsweetcivic:
Yeh, I know. I think what I'll be doing from now is add the watermark to every piece of artwork. It should somewhat protect it.

i have noticed a whole lot of newbies on d.a. that submit art that isnt theirs, i have told a few of them in a note that you cant do that and to read the submission guidelines, it seems like every day i see another new member doing it..

:XD: 10.003... siigh!

The worst thing is art stoling is that most of the thieves doesn't really understand that they are doing something wrong... and they are more and more everyday! :?

You were pretty close with the 10000 pagview. Sorry you didn't quite get it. I am waiting to find out who has my 10,000 screenshot. Thanks for trying :hug:

With the art thieves thing, I hope they will understand that it is wrong to take other's art and that they must contact the artist for permission if they want to use it.
