Art Theft - Please Help.

Journal Entry: Sat Jul 21, 2012, 3:34 AM



Hey guys,
You heard it right! I am back and running! <3 It's hard to believe I haven't drawn for two whole weeks. xD
My holiday was great. There was sun, beach and lots of pretty boys. *0* I didn't tan though. I'm so pale I can't even tan... grrr...

Anyway, so I come back and Cherry-Butt notified me of some case of art theft. Apparently someone has been using my art on a roleplay website without my permission.
Not only my art, also :iconkiiyuko: and :iconoh-hellopanda:'s works have been stolen. Not to mention plenty of other people whose art has been ripped off.

Here is the website: translate.googleusercontent.co… and there is this: translate.googleusercontent.co… and this: translate.google.be/translate?… and much more. I have translated it from Russian which was it's original language. If some of you guys know this website and know how to use it... Please help me out. This person has used and modified my art without my permission. I want them to take it down.

You have to wonder how the person found this site to notify you when it's in another language. :XD:

I did wonder but the person herself is Russian so I'm guessing she might have joined the website? Or one of her friends is on there.
Whatever the reason, I'm glad they have notified me of the person who stole my art.

Ahh. I see. It's another pretty design I have to say, it's just a shame people can't respect artwork for what it is. ^^; It's great you have people on the look out for you though, it's like little mini spys. :XD:

I hate websites like that. Stealing everything and claiming it as theirs. It's pretty pathetic if you ask me. I can't do much except hope that this problem gets resolved.

Oh, geez... I wish I can help but I don't use that website. :c

Contact dA, tell them about it, and maybe they can help you take care of it.

If I knew how to contact them I would. And I don't think they'd take this matter seriously anyway. XD

They usually take art theft pretty seriously as long as you can prove you're the original artist... I'm not sure how they'll handle it when it's on another website, but it's worth a shot, right?

You know where the little arrow thing is next to the deviantart logo? Go there and go all the way down to the bottom of the list, down to "Help and FAQ".

On the side there should be something like, "Contact the Help Desk" or "Contact Us" or something with the word contact in it, xD

Click that, make sure you put your ticket in the correct category, and write out your report. :3

Would you know under what category I should put the message?
