Art theft

Journal Entry: Sun May 6, 2007, 6:00 AM


Hi there!

Today I got a note from :iconkytheraoa: telling me that one of my pictures was uploaded to someone's MySpace account and obviously this person claims it her own .oO (Wow)

And I'm not the only artist she stole art from. Kythera wrote down the story in her livejournal. You can read everything here:

and here:

The funny thing is: This person even wrote a big "NO STEALING" under each of the stolen pictures :rofl:


Well, I really was surprised!

Yeah, I hate art thieves. Not only do they claim the hard work of others their own, they also ignore the feelings some artists have put into their work. This is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However, I must say I'm not as annoyed as I thought I would be. After all, who is she? Someone who has not what it takes to make good drawings - fun in drawing, patience, passion? Someone who has to steal art to get attention?? Someone who has to get attention and boost her ego that way because she can't do it herself, with her own achievements??? Well ... I wouldn't wanne be in her shoes ... Anyway, who gives a damn about her little MySpace account? It could have been worse after all *has to think of this stupid pop "artist" who made thousands of dollars by stealing other peoples ideas and works*.

And the final thing is .... my art seems to be good enough to get stolen ;) That really made my day ^^

I wrote an e-mail to the MySpace stuff and reported the art theft. Now I'm waiting for their reply.


Thank you very much for your big help on this matter :iconkytheraoa: !!!!!!

I'm wondering if she was just using the images as a way to show what her character looked like. Maybe she said "No Stealing" because she didn't want anyone else taking them and using them. It's hard to tell. Now if it is in fact a case of her trying to claim that she drew those images...then yeah...that's plain out wrong and I hope she gets what she deserves.

Thats a stupid thing.. why do people steal the works of others? I cant understand it.. but i hope she repent that! I hate such guys...

The plain stealing is the worst. I mean I'd be happy if someone shows a picture of mine, given proper attribution and stuff. But making people think that they've drawn the pic themselves is inappropriate and inacceptable.

Hmm... I wonder if she'd accidentally add someone she's stolen work from at some point. That would be interesting...

I'm trying to find out at the moment =) It looks very much like a misunderstanding but in some points she was acting weird:
- Why did she not write the names of the original artists under the pictures?
- Why did she delete the comments that linked to the originals?
- Why did she set her accout to private after Kaythera found her?
- Why did she add the rules saying that she did not own any of the pictures to her page just 3 days ago (most likely when she was found by Kythera)?

(smiles wryly) Some don't like to admit things until they are forced into it, you know.

Wow. She even left YOUR signature in the corner. Hmm. So now I'm going to get paranoid about my own art.
