Yes! I know! They just hotlinked our art onto their site. Very upsetting. But try and act in a mature manner when complaining. (:
I hope the person will get caught.
Well, we actually know the contact information of the person who owns the site. But I do hope the site gets shut down or something.
The bad thing is that the owner of the site didn't gain our permission to post the art. The good thing...well, the not-as-bad thing is that he or she at least credited us. If he/she said "Yeah I drew it" I would be more angry. I'm already kind of upset, but for sure, there are worse thefts.
Yeah. That's my thoughts exactly. But I'd prefer if they had my permission. And they could be using hundreds of artworks to gain money by advertising and stuff. 'The general consensus seems to be that the site owner is using our art as a way to boost his domain traffic and earn sales off advertising placed within the pages.' Quoting from the journal that I have posted in this journal.
Wait- so he/she have been using our artwork as advertising or for money? That's illegal!
