stolen artwork?

Tue Jan 22, 2008, 6:08 AM
a whistleblower sent me this link today:

[link]

if you see an artist's work there that you personally know, try to contact them.

apparently, somebody is stealing people's work and selling them as prints. or trying to, anyway. you're not going to get anywhere close to a decent print quality from a downloaded jpeg.

what makes it even more audacious is that this person took the time to 'rate' all the stolen images. it just adds insult to injury, in my opinion.


come on, people. i'm going to disable downloading of images from here on. i don't need shit getting stolen from me. the stuff they took from me sucks anyway, i mean, what the hell? this is so bizarre.

fucking cunt.

lul. Idiot, didn't even change the file name -- it's got the artists names in those. Should be pretty easy to track and contact.
I'd say, contact the host of the website and notify them that one of their users is breaching copyright etc etc. They'll get rid of the account/content.
It will be extra speedy if the artists who were stolen from also contact the host of the site about that.

Is there anything we can do to stop this?
This annoys me too.
