This group will be migrated to the new design soon. Please contact the group admins to start the migration and save content the group may lose access to.

Welcome

This group is for art theft awareness. Feel free to submit your Anti-Art Theft works to the correct folders. Limit currently is 5/day. Subject to change as group gets bigger.

:bulletred: All submissions must be good quality.
:bulletred: Submissions must be submitted to the correct folders.
:bulletred: All types are accepted, but must be anti-art theft related.
:bulletred: All work must be your own.
:bulletred: No violent, harassing, or demeaning work will be permitted.
:bulletred: No trolling, spamming, or asshattery allowed. Treat everyone with the same respect you would wish to receive. (This includes comments left to the art thieves.) If you are caught harassing anyone, members, art thieves, or admins you will be banned.

I don't want these people to have the :+fav:'s and ect on work that is not theirs. This group is not to attack them. Only to expose them and report them. This way by depriving them of the attention they seek, they will quit posting work that is not theirs, or leave our community altogether. They seek attention, so don't give it to them.

This group is to let our community know about current Art Thieves. In order to be accused as an Art Thief there must be ample proof provided to support your claims.

:bulletblue: What should I do if I know someone is an Art Thief?

--------> Report them, and silently leave. It has occurred to me that these people seek attention, either positive or negative. Don't antagonize them or feed their feeling of receiving attention from you. Send us a "Claim of Theft" in a note and provide your evidence.

:bulletblue: How do I submit a claim of proof of Art Theft?

--------> Send us a note along with proof. Comments containing any potential thief will be hidden. People will only be "outted" as an Art thief when ample evidence is provided, and reviewed.

:star:UPDATE: As per new rules we will no longer be listing profiles. We will only post the offending deviations themselves along with the link to the original deviation/copyrighted image.
Proof must be traced back to either the original artist or proven to be directly from a show etc. Anyone can post anything on photobucket so it's not exactly valid proof (unless there is an artist signature!)---- we want to see proof like original editorial or news articles in the case of celeb photos, stock photo sites that list the original photographers/copyrights, original artist flickr accounts, art/wallpaper sales sites, deviant art postings etc. :star:

:bulletblue: What can be used as proof of theft?

--------> Anything that can be provided with a link that shows the work belongs to someone else.

Thanks for joining and with your help we can make Deviantart a better community for us all. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I am also currently looking for admins to help in going over evidence and posting blogs. Thanks Panda
The following deviations have been found to be most likely stolen or re-posted. Please report and leave... do not post to the user's page. No flaming, trolling or otherwise harassing the thief/re-poster-  DA staff will handle that- anyone found to be posting or harassing the potential thieves in any way will be banned from this group. Thank you!

The person in the journal is Stalking and Harassing people THEY and the person targeted blocked:

Artists Beware! Stalking and HarassmentDo not harass this user - all that is asked is that you report their harassment journals / account, as all they ever do is post harassment journals nowadays. Making a Blacklist is NOT harassment. What they are doing IS. , I had screenshots, and will be sharing the links below. So I get alerted to another smooth-brain attempting to bitch about NOT doing EXACTLY what they are doing. If you are not aware, galeemlightseraphim has been blocked by a few people for; - Lying - Harassment - and deleting comments. GUeSs WhAt TheY aRe DoInG?! lying about that there is 'no proof!!" of everything they supposedly 'didn't' do. Harassing the people who put them on a blacklist {not even BLOCKED at the start; just on a blacklist} for the above reason. Deleting comments on anything they post that explain WHY they are wrong. AND = here's the kicker!! - making callout posts about people who they admitted to blocking, and had blocked them so add; - Block Evading - Stalking - AND Harassment to the list!! Oh, but we're not done!!! They are LITTERALLY posting call out journals going after someone for being a 'creep stalker' WHILE DOING EXACTLY THAT. Original journal: https://archive.is/m5Aye After the FIRST journal was taken down for -SURPRISE!! - harassment., they went ahead and made ANOTHER journal doing the EXACT. SAME. THING: https://archive.ph/M5k6W , ,, I love that they also post this on their profile: ,Bitch - YOU'RE the only one stalking and harassing people. For adding you to a god damn BLACKLIST. You might need to start blocking everyone on DA soon, because more people than you THINK have a brain that functions! , If you have a blacklist, I suggest you add them to it - as it seems like they will not / can not or just WON'T be an adult and just ifnore the fact that they got called out for thier BS, and is likely to harass you, yourself. Even if you block them, they will block evade, and stalk / harass you anyway. Here's the journal they made: ,Beaware Artison-Noteworthy is a creep stalker March 1, 2023 Well, somebody didn’t want took my journal too Feel free to report it for harassment, as well as the above reasons. , Here's a reminder: They are doing every single ONE of these things, and PROVING it by posting those call out journals. They are PUBLICLY proving every single claim laid against them. - Lying - Harassment - deleting comments. - Block Evading - Stalking - AND Harassment , My final message to galeemlightseraphim: I don't know how old you are, nor do I really care. You need to grow up, and realize that by doing exactly why people don't want anything to do with you, and acting like a spoiled 5 year old who's never heard the word 'no' before, you are giving the people who don't like you a REAL reason to not want anything to do with you. Someone put you on a Blacklist and don't want to interact with you / don't want YOU talking to them? Boo-freaking-hoo. Grow up. Not everyone is going to like you, and by doing the shit that you are doing, you are not only FEEDING the reason WHY they don't like you - MORE people will see you for who you REALLY are, and you might just find they don't want anything to do with you, either. You don't want people to stalk, harass or BLOCK EVADE you? You shouldn't be doing THE EXACT SMAE THING to other, either....

They are PUBLICLY proving every single claim laid against them.

Hey, I can't believe, his art thief named Nancy-Bricks is a selfish DA account who is making stolen artworks when many watchers at him. He is stealing more and more artwork images from me, SmithCompanyArts, other original DA artists at all times. That is not so good.
