I'm so shocked.

I'm so furious. I'm so. fucking. furious.

I just discovered several websites where some foolish people submitted my artworks and my stock.

I didn't give my permission for that. I always checked the people's usage of my stock when I give a permission to use it outside dA.
I don't know what to do. I'm not the only person involved, as my husband is on the pic.
I really don't understand why people steal artworks to show it on their website. A link is so much better, it is so simple!

It seems to me non sense to add an ugly white copy paste to every pic I submit on the internet, but it seems I have no choice anymore. I can't find my words to tell you how I feel...

If you have any information about what I have to do, or about the followed websites, please comment this journal entry.

Thieves:

says my "fan".
My "Lady winter". Absolutely not a wallpaper Oo
Same website, with an artwork made for my graphist book :icontysgraphik:
A friend of mine just said to me the 2 last websites just indexed my artworks. It would not be a thief but a robot, 'cause the pics are hoasted by deviantart.com Oo
I'll send a message to dA right now.

If you find other thieves, please tell me.

I feel badly for you. If it's any consolation, it appears to be just one individual - and not a very talented one at that. You can try to send a "cease and desist letter" (sample one at [link]) to their address registered:

I know... People are stupid and don't think to the consequences... That's so sad!

Very true :( They hardly ever do think of the consequences of their actions :(

Damn...
This is just coming days after Jagged-Eye [link] got the same end of the stick. It's frustrating as hell, and also unfortunately the reason that I watermark and limit size of all of my poster-sized manips. You do your best to keep your I's dotted and your T's crossed, and some raggedy-assed thief decides that they can just take what they want (and in my case, try to turn a profit, as well). I'm so sorry that you are having to go through this as well, and hope that you burn the lousy grots!
