.report art theft!

Due to the recent events I thought it would be appropriate to make a stamp, and make people aware of the art theft problem. Not only to protect your own art, but also to keep an eye out for other art rips.

You can read the full explanation when you click the stamp.
And I might make this into a news report, do you think this would be a good idea?




.copyright issues

Last night I was surfing on the web, and I came across some pictures, some guy had submitted at viewbug (to win moneyprizes) that I knew I had seen before.
Now without immediately accusing him, I kindly asked him if all thos pictures were his, and appologysed if it were so. To which I got an answer that they were al his.
I checked back today, and even more picture I had seen or even knew who they were from, were put online by him to win money prizes. I looked up a few pictures at da, and confronted him with it, to which I got following answer (I think it's hilarious):

"I don't know who you are or what your motives are behind accusing me of these wild things.. if you are so concerned then write the people you are talking about and complain, I have exclusive rights to all of my media and I don't need some little punk kid like yourself annoying me, I am sure you must do this to a lot of people since you absolutely have no life at all as you are proving, but why don't you go do something beneficial like play in the road.
I am telling you now.. LEAVE ME ALONE.. stalking and harassment are serious CRIMES and you could get locked up in jail!"


I sent an email to the staff of viewbug today, and I have noted every one whose picture I could find at DA. There are a lot more that I didn't find, but I knew I had seen already.

So if one of you knows who the following pictures belong to, just let me know:

That the gloss has washed away
But you're the one whose colour's gone
From love to dirty grey:music:

Nice work.
You should report the site to the Ripped Art Task Force. They pursue cases of art theft like this and take action.

Can you give us a link to his page? The more people from DA who see his work and can identify more of his pictures, the better.
I've been to see this persons's so called gallery at viewbug.com and by looking I can come to the conclusion that all these artworks are not her/his own.
The styles are too diverse and the quality too varied.. they go from brilliant to ho-hum.
This person doesnt even admit to being an artist, just "College student who knows what the crowd likes ;-)" to quote what is written on their page.
She makes me :puke:
