Skem9.com: Copyright Violations & How to Help

=bitchinblack:iconbitchinblack: reports, January 3
The website Skem9.com, a website dedicated to layouts, generators, and other such web features, is currently overridden with copyright images. Many of these images belong to members of the DA community.

The owner of the site, John, and a number of his mods work hard to remove layouts that violate copyright. However, it is not enough, and they could always use more help.

This is a notice to all members of DA: If you think your art may have been stolen, if it has been stolen before, or even if it has never been stolen, please visit the site and look around. If you see an image belonging to a DA artist, use the "Report this Layout" link places on every layout page to report them.

Please be sure to have a link to the original artist. DO NOT contact the person who submitted the layout directly, since it will only cause more problems than necessary. Reporting the layout will be sufficient.

These are some of the artists I have seen stolen work from:

Princess-of-Shadows
pu-sama
blackeri
Azhrarn
riotgothicgrrrl
and myself

Even though there are many more sites like Skem9.com that have stolen images, every little bit helps in the fight against Copyright violations.

Skem9.com

You can contact either John or Shayne directly in case of any problems:

Very helpfull, I'll check out the site tomorow, Its not reacting well with my pc right now - The virus checker is acting up and it wont allow certain sites, even dA keeps crashing. but I'll look through those layouts and report whatever I see being familier!!
Its sickening that there are so many websites that have ripped peices on thier pages. And some websites do nothing about it, Its the same with Youtube and other video sites, Full and unpaid for movies can be stolen everyday without the uploader even giving a shit about what he/she's doing, all this is praticly like going into a shop and stealing a peice of art to hang on your wall.
Good luck :) <3

Thanks for forging ahead on this, and getting such helpful contact information. I know these sorts of sites are all over the place on the net, but hopefully word will get out that DA artists are serious about this! :hug: I'll go through and check it out as well.

You can't fight copyright violations is you haven't registered copyright. Legally, you need to register your work. Otherwise you'll be laughed out of court.

Note to All: Watermark all work you do not want stolen or register it with your government's copyright office.

=evile33:iconevile33: Jan 3, 2008, 6:51:27 PM
you can fight copyright violations even if you haven't registered your work...you just can't get an monetary compensation.

I agree that all work should have a watermark. A lot of people hate that, and bitch about it, but I see those people as usually the ones who do the stealing in the first place.
I watermark ALL my images, and even have my copyright info put on all my prints. It is all to easy to scan and image on a high resolution scanner these days.

I' m not sure you have the facts correct. I had work removed from another site by simply providing them a link to my original on deviantART.

There was no need for courts.

FAQ #687: What is news and what is not news?


If I fav and run, it's because I like it and don't have any constructive critique, get over it.
~ImaginaryCloud:iconImaginaryCloud: Jan 3, 2008, 7:55:54 PM
Hmm I checked out the site. I've seen some of the layouts and a few look familier but I don't know if I saw them on here before...it might of just been the style. It's hard to tell. :(
