Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000:points: .
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine  that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam  deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Bronies go nuts, and Nintendo Sucks?Equestria Girls
The trailer to "Equestria Girls" (the humanized MLP spinoff film) finally was released today. Aaaannnd everyone's freaking out. Again.
You know, it actually looks pretty decent. Bronies... please understand: I know you're a major unexpected demographic for the show. I know you enjoy seeing shout-out's become canon within the show, and appreciate how the creators do little things here and there for you. But... the show isn't made for you. This is not Cartoon Network and the target demographic isn't 25 year olds in college. You're a nice addition to the target demographic of little girls, but you are not the driving force behind MLP.
I don't want this to sound mean, but it needs to be said. This is where it becomes very important to understand the fine line between being a fan of the show and thinking that because you've invested so much energy into the show that you're entitled to things.
I'm sure the movie won't be as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It honest
Devious Journal Entryokay, i kinda have to say something....

I am Pansexual (if you don't know what that is here is a link to the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansexuality) I am super bad at talking to people because of my anxiety and claiming to have a disability  is not my way of shutting you guys out, I'm trying i really REALLY hard at making friends and being more social and im going to start being more social with you guys from now on this popularity kinda snuck up on me and i really had nothing to say because i was so "socially retarded" is a good way to put it. I have faith in my art, i use it as a way of expressing myself and paying homage to my favorite subject: creepypasta. man do i love creepypa

All winners are picked at random! (random.org)
Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

Pls read: Ebay seller profiting off many artists

:iconahkahna:

This seller: [link]

So far the artists which are aware or have been contacted are:
Nambroth
Nimrais
Seaspell
just-joking
CristinaPenescu
Heatherzart
Ravenari
TheBrassOwl
Sibelian
Bubba-messa
FatimahPantophag
Secondclaw
Chronoperates
Andoledius

There are many others that we cannot identify, so if you can identify other artists, please contact the artist with links to the works which belong to them. Do not contact the Ebay seller, please, as that will solve nothing and only prompt them to delete all the works which may prevent artists from receiving possible compensation (if any) for the profiting of their illustrations. Only the owners of the copyrighted works may contact Ebay to get the listings removed.

Thank you

In addition, I have found two additiona artsits whose artwork has been stolen: 0Corcoran and oazen2008 and I have sent them messages. I have also send messages to Pillsbury, Disney, Pixar, Marvel and a few other businesses so far alerting them to the copyright infringement, hoping that these big companies will take action.

I have good news... I have had success with the Vero program to get my item removed, as of now, it is no longer listed. However, this seller is still active and has thousands of products still for sale. I know he has stolen images from more than just the 20 DA members. By myself, I can only be accountable for my own images. I cannot speak for all the members of DA who have had their art stolen. If I am the only one doing anything, then this seller will not get shut down. But perhaps if 20 people complain, he/she will be shut down. I know this is a giant pain in the butt, and eBay is not making this easy on anyone, but the only way this person can be shut down permanently is if everyone does their part and reports each and every instance of their own artwork that has been stolen. For some of you, that means more than one piece, so each complaint will have more and more weight.

I have already faxed the form the Vero, and still no response, the listings are all still up. I have called Amazon for a followup and they say it will take 7 DAYS to investigate! REALLY? 7 Days? Why does it take so long to just click on the website and realize that they stole the artwork?? All the listings are still up at this point and this @$$ is still profiting off of stolen artwork. I have also reported it to the ic3.gov website, hopefully I will hear from them soon as well.

This guy has gotten back to me, and has sold two of my koi prints for 13$ each, and has offered to give me 5$ since he used my image. I am tempted to take the 5$ and still report him through Ebay's vero program, and send them a fax with the paperwork the provide.

Bleh~!

$5 my ass. D:/ It cost you MORE time than $5 to make the image, I say charge him for what it's worth times two. If he doesn't like it, threaten him with legal action. And still report his ass to ebay's vero program.

I told him that wasn't enough, and I even linked the other listing on Amazon. I've been really sick with strep, so I've not had the energy to actually get up and fill out the form, but I will soon.

Thanks for all your hard work! I just don't have time to chase these suckers down and it's like I have an army of angry artists watching my back. Very cool

=lioncrusher Dec 5, 2012  Hobbyist Traditional Artist
This angry artist is working very hard to get this @$$hole shut down. I have already called eBay and Amazon, and at least the lady at Amazon has been working hard to process my complaint. As soon as the ic3.gov website is up I will file a complaint there as well, if the matter has not been resolved by then.

I have called Amazon and reported the person for my own stolen artwork, and did tell her that there are probably many, many others on there as well. Please call Amazon @ 1-866-216-1072 and press 0 to speak with a person. International artists please call 1-206-266-2992.
