I will hunt down any art thieves and bring them to justice.

There's something I think I should get off my chest that I think can probably make enforcing the rules and taking care of thieves easier:
When you confront a thief, think about this: Did this person just take work and post it without changing anything, or did they use it as a base for their work without crediting the person who made the stolen portion? If they edited it at all, they might be simply misunderstanding you. I used to be a thief, but I didn't know I was a thief. I would use vectors without paying any mind to crediting the people who made them, because I thought they were just free to use bases for people to paste onto other images. And every time someone came to me accusing me of theft I'd get really mad at them because they never actually explained WHICH PART of the work was stolen. I thought that as long as I had edited the image at all, whether by taking someone's vector and pasting it onto another image or by adding a caption to a screenshot from a TV show, that that meant I had the right to post it; because I had a creative hand in making it by adding the final touches. Because the people didn't explain that it was just one part of the image that was stolen, I thought they were claiming to have been the people who made the entire things, including the parts that had been done by me. I thought they were just trying to take credit for my work.
So, just keep that in mind. If they have edited the work at all, even by just adding a caption, don't just say "this is stolen;" explain what about it is stolen. Also, some people (like my former self) don't realize that an edited screenshot is still a screenshot, so if you see someone posting captioned screenshots from a TV show or movie, don't call them out right away for using a screenshot; call them out for editing a screenshot, or else they might just think you're trolling.

Hello, I need immediate attention. This guy has "40 detailed line arts to colour" on his site but various people agree they have seen these works on DA before. I'd like to pass this link around to all line art / art theft groups in hopes we can find and alert the original owners of the works.

This guy has taken my image and claimed he now has to watermark 'his' work because people have stolen it in the past.
If he has one of mine(Darknes has Mercy featuring my daughter) I am damned sure he has some from others..

Hello! Could anyone please tell me if there are news about the Chad Love Lieberman art theft?

~alidabb is in contact with the family of a deviant which work was ripped off by him. They'd like to know more about the class action and I know ~alidabb already contacted `alexiuss, but it seems it will take sometime before he can answer her.

I was going to suggest her to go to art4loveisafraud.com but the site seems to be down?

Does anyone know where I could direct her?

Thank you in advance!
