Not sure what happened, but I’m glad they removed the website. how did you even come across an image stolen of yours? Scary stuff!

I googled my own name. It was on the 3rd page!

I know that theft is a reality when posting art on the web but I feel so violated. Who know’s how many others are out there that I haven’t found ya know?
Hmmmmmmm, makes me stop and think about not posting art on the net at all.
Is the publicity that places like redbubble brings me worth a stolen image or two now and then?
We’ll see, I have to think on it.

Glad to hear this is sorted – agree it’s a worrying possibility. I’d be equally outraged! My only consoling thought is that the images we see posted online are only at web resolution, so to print out a stolen image would be very small /fuzzy… and of course what they can’t steal is our imagination, vision & talent to produce more – often better – work all the time.

Pls don’t be put off posting your wonderful work.

“inconvenience” ?? has crime come to that?

No kidding. Who’s to say this person doesn’t have hundreds of photos on his computer and will post them up somewhere else?........I don’t think there’s much else I can do at this point.

I have concerns for this as well, it angers me that their are people of such poor ethical standards out there lurking about to make a profit on the backs of the gifted. It is a crime against our Generosity in sharing our creativity, I am still testing the waters of the internet and waiting for enough reason to fight back, My Photography is well Documented and I am prepared to go to the length of the law to Face Plant anyone who wants to trespass against me, Like a Trap Door Spider laying in wait my venom is their own poison, and in the end of a legal process Their Reward and profit will become my gain and their conviction will drag down who ever else they went to bed with on a corporate level. I am currently witnessing the beginnings of this process and am eager to see the end results. I still think that we all should execute great caution concerning these issues, and be prompt and thoroughly prepared to deal with it when and as it occurs, I think that the penalty should be rewarding for the victim artist no matter how little a perpetrator meant by the dishonest and thieving event. Or else in the event of total distrust of the Legal Rights Upholding People who want to View Art and Photography online should have to pay An initial Access Fee, and then apply to a confidential Identity release before being permitted to View; viewers would have to sign into a Secured Site,
with Monitoring programs to detect piracy and copy right infringing activity when with detected their IP Address is Flagged and their Identity immediately being brought to Legal Process.
