Am I popular enough to have an art theif now?

I don't think i'm alone when i say i have my own private offline collection but posting content that's not yours for everyone to see is unacceptable. I'm a strong believer in things that are open source but that's not the same thing as free. An economy doesn't work if everything is free or stolen. I hope this thief is brought to justice.

May the Devil find this Bastard who dare to steal other peoples work and burn in the deepest part of hell! This is a insult to us as Artists and I hope the person gets what Hen deserves and doesn't get a easy way out of this.

If so then later on they should burn in their life for hurting our queen

There isnt much that an artist can do in this situation, unless that artist paid to have her work to be registered as an international IP or Intellectual Property. However, unfortunately in this case since her work is a fan-art she would never be able to register her work as an IP. In my opinion, the best counter is to use fan-base power to harass the person doing this and secondly for the artist themselves to consider this as free publicity for her work. Unless of course the thief claims they are the one making this art. Then in that case lets hope one of the fans is a black hat hacker and take it upon him/her to do some voluntary work to balance off his/her karma.

That is also true, but what if they are trying to get our queen into trouble on other sites? Already most of her time is spent at school, who knows what else they could do if she showed this to another website of hers, they'd know and go onto patron Just to steal Her art

Kankri Vantas

Humans are barbiarns my queen,

Kankri Vantas

That is not what I meant, I mean that everyone here in patreon, the vast majority comes from da. If she make a journal in da, this is saying to those that have not contribute in patreon that they can access the content without contributing to patreon. In this case she is shooting herself on her own foot. Imagine this, less than 2 person knows the location of the famed nazi train carrying gold in europe, after the news broke, how many person do you think spend their time trying to find it compared to before the news broke?

I'm too coward to post it on DA and well...What I feared is that Patreon got hacking. That website have so many arts of many artist on it. And it still get fast update...It something that impossible for human to do...Human need to go and check every artist in Patreon. Save description and picture and re-upload it on website...but this...this is too quick.....They might make a program that access to Patreon's database and copy auto update on Patreon to that website....This problem is bigger than we know...

Vavacung

Very true, because her fans on da Will hunt down this person where on patron it's more limited to all patron users then the open public

Kankri Vantas

Then let patreon do the legal battle for you, they can close it if they start proceeding against the individual who is hosting the website. Thankfully you did not put up this journal on DA, otherwise you are saying that there is a website that display your work and they will start looking for it.

Raile21

Hope you catch this stupid person my queen,

Kankri Vantas

Already did it. That website don't stolen just my arts...They have art of nearly 100 creator of other Patreon too.

Vavacung

Ask a patreon administrator on what you should do if this happen.

Raile21

hally [cant spell artists name off the top of my head] on IB was just gripeing that all her HQ art from patreon was posted outside too...i think theres some 'art should be free' nerd/jerk going around hijacking patreon pages.

Prysm

What do you mean,

Vavacung

That's... wow. That's pathetic.

Basically, don't click anything. It just does a google image search and puts them on the page.

*Grabs my trusty pitchfork* Where are the art theft hounds, we need to go hunting.

Karma lightwing

yeah I do that some times XD

Nocara

its not me I commented to her on how the crazy alternate future comic has had an impact on me as a person and how I see people in that way. Who ever you are that did this I hope you Banished through Princess Twilight's Mirror to some place where you will be damned for all eternity.

You kinda made no sense

Kankri Vantas

Who ever you really are, your worse then a stupid lying whore, loveless worked Her ass off to make Her fans happy, now you go and steal Her art, and before anyone thinks its me, your wrong, I look comment and try to encourage Her to finish good art, it takes a while for her to make the art for she has school and she can't speak English very well, I saw on her other account on e621.net that she had a hard time making them into English words instead of her normal speaking, she deserves better then that, if your a proto queen or a warrior, or even One of the look out, I am so ashamed to say, but you bring shame and dishonesty and dishonor to this hive

Kankri Vantas

wow! that is shameless btw carefull with this kind of pictures, people can get information about you like: you like braeburned ;) and that... YOU ARE FROM THE FUTURE!!! THE YEAR 2558!!! D:

Nocara

i hope the thief's soul burns in the badlands, i dont see why people steal art, its obvious who it belongs to, more so with the water marks artists are throwing on their work, lilythekitsuen is doing so due to thieves stealing her comic
