hmmm

Technically alot of us here are in effect, going against copywright laws. Look at my Crush Club banners, or your fangirl banner. We used those and didn't ask. Heck I never checked if any of em said public license or not. But that's aside the point.

I'm almost in the middle here.

1. Kuki is right...plagarising is bad and I think the people who do it must not have alot going for them.

2. However...this seems to be alot of energy to specnd to possibly stop a few people from doing it when we all know there are going to be more and more rippers to take their place. Not to mention as soon as you stop them here, they probably head off to another place and do it again.

Just my opinions though

I guess what it comes down to is I think you should keep doing your drawings and appreciate them for all their worth. As far as the rippers go...I say the hell with em...

The main part with me hunting down rippers like this is because I'm just really bored out of my mind. Gives me something to do on Friday nights, you know?

And CandyShopBaby is down for the count. She actually CONFESSED thinking "oh nothing will happen" to one of my compionins in hunting.

....she tried to pass them off as traces.

It is, if you don't give proper credit. But you didn't print and then copy them by hand, they're exact rips. I mean, the copyright is still on the sides of the images. It's illegal more than anything

well im sorry but i printed then copied those pics and i didnt think it would be wrong to copy them then put them on deviantart

I've reported every one of your images for policy violation. They're all stolen and why anyone believed they were ever yours, I have no clue.

Excel--I agree. It's an almost pointless tirade to go around trying to hunt down every single ripper, anywhere/everywhere. However, if I'm browsing a gallery and notice that there is ripped artwork, I make a point to let someone know =) It helps out deviantArt--and I really like deviantArt. I do everything I can to help them out--I'm also a subscriber =)

I wouldn't really worry about copyright infringements when you're using a pic from an anime in your signiture--most people aren't going to say anything, or even notice, or care. It's when you're claiming that the picture is yours that it becomes an issue, to me anyway.

Doot--Thank you! *bow,bow* <3

Short of murdering someone some day I am not too concerned Smile

Bekuki--hehe, that's funny

!

If anyone would like to see what happens to a ripper who continually rips, read the comments on jodeva's page (who is now banned, by the way).

Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk.

Any leads on the hentai pictures orgians, or the one's Rachel-Chan put up?

I managed to get one of the pictures off based on the fact that it was hentai (pornography isn't allowed on DA). As for the rest--I posted his other three on 4chan, and one of the users there gave me a lead to moeboard.net, saying that two of the pictures had been posted there, and they were even kind enough to give me the dates that they were posted, but the problem with Moeboard is that A.)It's in Korean and B.)It only shows five posts per page, and the dates were all a year to three years ago, and I sat there for about 15 minutes trying to go back and didn't even get out of the month of July. There might be an easier way to do that, but then the boards are in Korean, so I can't figure out how.

Here's the dates, just in case you want to give it a shot:
>>127281 (cat picture, I believe)
2004-08-13 2005-03-08 2003-04-21 2004-05-08

>>127282 ("odango")
2003-05-18

As for Rachel-chan, I didn't recognize any of her sources =( I don't even know where to begin.
