Art theft!!

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 6, 2012, 3:29 AM
_____________________________________________________


Hello, deviants.
This may not interest only me, but many more people on deviantART.
I found a page where someone steals tons of pictures of the beautiful artists on deviantART.

The thief is not on deviantART! This is a Vietnamese site!


For example my newest deviation:

Or by =popoks

by *PawelMatys

by ~Snowfall-lullaby

by *kokoszkaa

Just check out that page.

Does anyone know how to stop this person?

Use google translate to send the person a message- even if it is unreliable... Art thiefs are not to be tolerated...

That's where the problem is, because they're not a member on DA there's not a lot anyone CAN do. The laws are different, and when it comes to other sites it's kind of a free for all, and based strictly on an individual’s view of right and wrong; so basically it's a grey area.

I think the only things we can do as artist's posting things online, is copyright the hell out of it, and do our best to call the thieves out on it.
Or if we see our, or someone else’s work posted without proper credit, then if we are a member of THAT site then we can report them. They’ll either be banned, or given a warning to take down the offending content.

so bad I'm Vietnamese :( these art thief stuffs are getting so annoying! The website is a kind of social network like facebook, people create accounts then upload and 'share' what they found interesting (like "re-post") mainly to attract pageviews, not to compete in contests. But one main thing is that the Copyright law in Vietnam is sucks, or I can say it's totally useless!!! The authorities don't give a shit! :X And they people just download artworks from everywhere and don't even mind to leave the sources.. ARGHH
If you need anything, just tell me. I'll try my best to help against this!!!

Well, I guess it doesn't matter how many people try to work against it.. Vietnam is a communist country, so even the government won't do anything against it.
