ripped... big time

Journal Entry: Fri May 2, 2008, 4:32 PM
o.O


so yeah. my art has been ripped. which is kinda scary.





what you see here is my photo, [link] , printed on shirts by no less than three different asian clothing brands. two korean brands and one from hong kong. without my permission! I don't really know what to do.

BUT, I do not post this to get sympathy. I do it because it is very, VERY important that people do not spread photos around without the original owners approvement and proper links back to the original photos. this is an old photo of mine and I had it on this site for a long time without a watermark. so for all I know this photo could have been put out on some other site with no link back to me, so the "designers" of these shirts may have taken this as an ok-to-take-and-print-on-shirts-signal. I get really upset in these kind of situations, because I know I'm not the first one, or last for that sake, that this has happened to. but yeah, it doesn't really matter what I say. there are people out there who steals artwork no matter if they actually know who the owner is. GET A GRIP WORLD! RESPECT COPYRIGHTS!

(PS: those shirts look really ugly. so I don't really see why they wanted this photo on shirts in the first place. xD )

this whole thing sucks...and I can't count the times I've read about similar situations here in dA...I guess I'm adding a watermark in my images too, though is not so beautiful to see...at least some lazy stealer will not use them...:(

Forresten, har du fortsatt råfila til bildet? For da har du hvertfall en sterkere sak!

japp, jeg har originalfila samt en del andre bilder fra samme shooten. jeg får traske meg en tur ned til de folka etter eksamen. takk for tipset! ^^

Ja, det bør du!:D Ta med bilder av de asiaterne og råfilene dine, evt laptop:P Så ser de at du har en sak! Hvis du finner noe i opphavsrettloven (eller hva det nå heter;P) så skriv ned alle paragrafer som angår deg og ta det også med. De blir dritgla når du har gjort forarbeidet for dem, og saken går fortere!

Jushjelpa i Midt-Norge! [link] De holder til i midtbyen, og drives av jusstudenter med hjelp av flere advokatfirmaer i Trondheim! Det er helt gratis og de er veldig hjelpsomme og dyktige, jeg har vært der selv:) Seriøst, du kan ikke bare la det her gå, de tjener masse penger på noe du har lagd, og bildet var beskyttet med copyright!
