How to Commission an Artist
*ArynChris
reports, November 16
reports, November 16A comprehensive guide to commissioning, based on my personal experiences and observations. This guide does not address hosting contests, nor does it specifically address the unique challenges of commissioning through specific websites, though some typical scenarios are mentioned in passing. Topics include choosing the artist, why it's important to make sure you can afford it, how to contact the artist, payment, what WIPs are and why you might want to see them, and legal rights of both parties. Legal rights are discussed at the beginner level and are NOT in depth here.

Photobucket Copyright Concerns and Petition
=Mercuralis
reports, January 15, 2008
reports, January 15, 2008Swing by PlagiarismToday.com and read this article by Jonathan Bailey: Artists Express Concerns Over Photobucket.
Jonathan, with the help of artist Sandi Baker, has started a petition to help convince Photobucket to revise its services to help protect artists' copyrights.
Many Deviant artists' work has been reposted on Photobucket. Do a search on Photobucket.com for your deviantart user name to see if your work has been stolen. If you find your work there, follow the guidelines posted here to have it removed: Photobucket Copyright Information. Try searching for titles as well, since often the artist's name is removed from the file. If you find your work posted in a gallery, be sure to check out the rest of that gallery for possible other infringed artwork.
One of the major concerns for artists whose work has been copied on Photobucket is that anything posted in a public photobucket album is available to be printed. This includes personal photos as well as infringed artwork. If you have a Photobucket account, you may want to consider setting your album to private.
If you, like me, are concerned about copyright protection for artists and photographers, please consider signing the petition. It's about damned time we started standing up for ourselves as a group, and not just as individual artists against the world.
