Resources


We've been ripped!

=crazykira-resources:iconcrazykira-resources: reports, January 31, 2008
=jezebe11e let me know that there is this huge site with plenty of stolen resources and that mine, too, are in.

at first i said: ok, let it go..but when i saw that they took really a lot of them, re-hostes them somewhere and just redistribute as if they were their own i got mad!
I mean, is it possible to don't respect others work all this much? they could simply make links to different deviations and there wouldn't be any problem.

The site is this one [link] and the stolen deviations are too much to recognize
just take a look (I'll include some of the deviations, they're just too much to put them all):

[link] >>
the preview image is absolutely the same! at least i put a signature on it....

[link] >> (mine again)

[link] >> (~foley-resources)
>> (~ashzstock)

[link] >> plenty of ~punksafetypin patterns

they're just too much to go on!
only in actions there are 88 pages with 6 works per page!
and for textures, guess what..there are 627 pages! probably every single of them ripped.
while i'm casually browsing, on those works who have the signature on i can see ~allsevens ~simple-type *palebird ~WallStorm ~juliiiana ~deniseramos .....

of course jezebe11e was ripped as well, so she told me and other couple of people.
besides me there were: ~Stickfishies-Stock ~Abasyyx-Stock , *Fan4Lost, ~HclDesign, ~Jared-panthrax, ~Mihraystock, ~Nythm

From now on, whoever makes resources, please, be careful and put on the preview image your nickname.
If you make brushes put into them an extra brush with your deviantart page address.

If you find out that you have been ripped as well, write it below, we should try to do something together as i doubt that one person only can avoid this to happen.
jezebe11e geniously found out the way to understand something, using a translator, and here is the link she gave me for writing to the administrator
[link]


And now i'm asking, can't deviantArt do anything to protect us? there are plenty of people in here, much more of those I inserted now.

if you want to know if something yours has been stolen try to research on google writing in the research bar
"yournick"-deviantart

if some of the results is this site ..well, sorry to tell you this but well let say it this way
you have been chosen...



//sorry for my english, when i get mad, it gets worse

XD, i have found my things there as well and i have informed lots of artists about having seen their stuff too. The thing is that this site is just taking the links that are posted in other site suh as this one: [link]
The hilarious thing about it is that the are a few people there uploading our stocks by cutting the preview images in half and claiming them as their own XD but the link remains the same. I have informed the administrator about that a billion times and i have taken action upon it along with other artists but while some links are now down, there are others that are still working (or reuploaded after a while....) and those people just don't give a damn about it. For instance i had my crown brushes ripped by someone named Alexpal (who happens to be the main ripper there) and he/she had cut my preview image but the link was still under the name MouritsaDA-Stock. Then i added a comment on the site about violating my terms of use but instead of taking the ripped product down they made fun of me.
I have realised that no matter what i do, unless the whole site is closed nothing will change.
But the worst thing it that...our stuff if for free. They don't cost a thing. All we want (at least what i really want) is not redistributing them in other sites.
~osakastudio:iconosakastudio: Feb 1, 2008, 5:14:52 AM Mood: Anger
I found some brushsets, made by me on that site.

Crap, which people do something like that?
I can't understand that.

But i don't think that we can do something against those people...
=crazykira-resources:iconcrazykira-resources: Feb 1, 2008, 7:36:31 AM
you're absolutely right

and that's the thing i don't understand! i mean...i don't even ask credits for using them!
i only want not to redistribute them, whoever wants to use them can freely download them from my account O____O

browsing through the web i found another site, russian this time, who uses deviantart stuff, without claiming as their own, they write the name of the authors but never put any link
[link]

well..at least they write down our names, even if i wrote a comment suggesting them to make links to my stuff, as it's free in any case.

however i'm sure that there is someone here, on deviantart that is watching our galleries because the stuff out there are uploaded really really fastly

Actually, I'm an arabic person(so I can read what's on that site).
And for us arabs(NOT including me), that's totally normal.
To come here, take art, use it for graphics and layouts and banners, WITHOUT giving credit..
it's totally normal for them.
It pisses me off so fucking much.
~Ransie3:iconRansie3: Feb 2, 2008, 3:21:42 PM
Kira non ho capito bene, ma ti hanno proprio copiato le risorse o le ridistribuiscono?
~lelymarques:iconlelymarques: Feb 3, 2008, 6:33:42 AM
that´s terrible!!!!! I´ll be alert form now on o.O
~cinderbella84:iconcinderbella84: Feb 3, 2008, 11:12:16 AM
I found that site a few months ago while googling my own name - they have one of my texture packs up there. :\ I sent an e-mail to the admin, but I doubt anything will be done about it. Which is terribly upsetting for everyone involved in the graphics world. :(

nice to know that you are contrarious, just in case we can use you as translator ^^

however i'm not recriminating, and it's not only arabic people that do this kind of thing.
flickr does the same with deviantart photography...
