Massive rips at Photo Casket

~TakodaVega:iconTakodaVega: reports, November 28, 2006
Much to the horror of *ladymorgana, a watcher of hers informed her of Photo casket. A website which allows a user to browse through it's images and use them for whatever purpose the user would want.

According to =cosfrog's Journal, this site 'harvets' images over the web. Even using images whom the artist has specifically stated do not use.

According to the site itself, it claims: "All images are displayed under Fair Use provisions of the U.S. Copyright Law."

However it seems they do not research what is being posted otherwise they would have seen the copyright notices on some of the images used.

From what myself, *Kisnet, =cosfrog, and *ladymorgana have recognized we have found over 50 images that are deviantART related. We {being *Kisnet and myself} devise that at least 200 images are rips of deviantART members, including $chix0r, `cosmosue, `blackeri, *pu-sama, *enayla, `Wishmistress *ladymorgana, and so many others! *ladymorgana was actually the deviant who discovered this mass rip site. Not only is the art taken, the copyright on the images were removed.

Here is some of the link rips we have found!
1 - [link] = - $chix0r
2 - [link] by =Tintz
3 - [link] = by `blackeri
4 - [link] = by `blackeri
5 -[link] = by `blackeri
6 - [link] = by +suzi9mm
7 - [link] = by +suzi9mm
8 - [link] = by =larafairie
9 - [link] = - *ladymorgana
10 - [link] = - *ladymorgana
11 - [link] = - `Wishmistress
12 - [link] = - *pu-sama

[link] by ~selenka

that is only from 3 galleries [and some linked to me from :devmirrorkills, from what he found], and there were still some i recognised, but couldnt work out who owned them.. i probably would have put them here, but... i was lazy. sorry. But if you are curious - please go and check out the other galleries, there are a total of 26 different galleries, and no doubt there are 3 or 4 times as many more as what i found.. so if you care about your art, check it out.. i will also post this in my journal.

all right like i said in my first comment i'm working on compiling a list of all the images i have found. i'm not finnished yet i still have about three pages worth to go though in a word doc. in double space. -.-;; but here is what i have so far.



All right so here are all the links that I found personally. *sighs* I know there are many more that I missed and I’m sorry. I apologize to those artists. The way I have this set up is the first line is the title of the artwork and by who. The second line is the link to it on photo casket and the third line is the DA link.

Goddamit, I hate such websites -_-

I get my art stolen on Flash Games website quite often, and all they can say is: "Come on, we're promoting your flashes!"... yeah, of course, without mentionning my name or gallery URL, sure...

What I'm using now to prevent stealing is a protection code and a complete credits page in all of my games.

As you can't code in pictures (duh), there is still the (sad) solution of watermarks... if everyone would watermark pictures, it would prevent most stealing :/

[link] ~ :: Rainbow drops :: by [link] =Liek
~mauthbaux:iconmauthbaux: Nov 29, 2006, 9:32:37 AM
According to this site, these were all supposedly 'harvested' from MySpace. I'm really not surprised by it at all.

It was just last week that I found someone using my artwork in their myspace profile. They were using their photobucket account for hosting. Arguably, photobucket is worse since it allows the ordering of prints.

I don't want to deface my own artwork by watermarking all over it though; so the conundrum continues.

I emailed the person who runs the site, explaining what copyright meant and also informing them that they were breaking international copyright law. I pointed out that usually when you find an image on MySpace, it wasn't created by the owner of the profile it was found on. No response as yet...
