Thanks to alerting all on her watch about stolen art. Here > [link]

Ok People look I went to look through this clown's Flickr gallery and seen tons of stolen Deviant Art in fact there are 1737 art pieces to look through and I looked through all of them.

Normally when a alert is put out I will go look as well and if its not too large I will personally search for the deviants that I do not have on my watch list to inform them.

But there are too many to sort through this time so I am asking all of you to put this alert out to your watchers via your journals or news and ask them to pass it on as well to theirs.

Maybe this way we could reach all of them. Some image titles are not deviant names they are merely mumbo jumbo which tell me that these particular images were stolen before and uploaded somewhere like myspace or facebook and then saved by this Flickr person.

But I know they are from Deviants because like all Deviants we recognize stock once we been here awhile etc.


My advice to all of you is to go look through this gallery to see if any of your work is there if your see any of your work then save the URLs of each piece then copy the letter below and fill in the information is the ( ) sections reporting it to their copy rite department and email it to them.

Below is a copy of the letter I sent to them to complain

====================================================
Send a email to copyright@yahoo-inc.com


say the following below ( fill in your information where it says )

I am writing to report one of your members for taking my art which is copyrited the link(s) to this graphic(s) is.

(The URL(s) of the stolen Art(s) )


The following link(s) to the original creation(s) which plainly states below the image(s) That it is Copyrited (©2008 Your Deviant ScreenName )

(The URL(s) Of the Original Art(s)Pieces)

"I hereby state that I have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (e.g., as a fair use)."
"I hereby state that the information in this Notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right under the copyright that is allegedly infringed."

I do not have a electronic Signature

My name is (Your real name and screen name)
(Your home address)

=================================================
I also suggest that once your are done to do a search in the main Flickr page with the ending name of your images for instance I always title my image and end it with "by_MistRaven" when I did a search I found one of mine which I just sent a email to the copy rite agent regarding that.

This is a major problem for all of us. Sadly we can only do whats stated above to at least counter these robberies. We may not be able to catch all of them but at least its good to know that Deviants watch each others back and when we learn of a person who stole art from here we notify all we can.

So please pass this on to your watchers and ask them to continue the alert amongst theirs.
