ART4LOVE ART THEFT

ATTENTION! PLEASE FAV THIS OR AT LEAST LINK TO THIS AS THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE WHICH AFFECTS MANY DEVIANTART-MEMBERS!

FULL VIEW FOR ALL THE DETAILS


A lot of you already read the newsarticles about the websites "art4love.com" and "markyourspot.com", which stole artworks of a lot of deviantART members and tried to sell them on said websites for not little money.

I, too, read those articles and shook my head as to this kind of fraud and scam, but i never had thought that i would find myself among the victims.

Then a few days ago, comment on my deviation "PWND", that it, too, had been offered for sale without my knowledge and against my will on said websites.

Upon further investigation, i found two more ow my pieces (for a total of three pieces) that had been taken from my deviantART gallery and been offered for sale on said websites, namely:

"PWND" [link]

"Behind Enemy Lines" [link]

and

"Wild Wild Chess" [link]

Both websites are now DOWN, but there still is a gallery of screenshots available here [link] for you to checkm if your artwork or that of your friends has been stolen as well.

deviantART Senior Member Alexiuss is trying to put together a Class Action Lawsuit against the owners of these websites, so PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS

Also, is still looking for donations to support and fund said Class Action Lawsuit against these guys, please contact him for more information on how to help the cause and support this case.

Should your artwork or those of your friends have been stolen and sold as well, please dont hesitate and contact about this. You can find more information on how to collect the evidence and on how to proceed here [link]


SPREAD THE WORD, THIS CANNOT BE LEFT UNNOTICED

At this place, i would like to say THANK YOU to both and . I want to thank for taking the time to notice this fraud and scam and taking the time to bring it to my attention,and i would like to say thank you to for putting in all the effort on this subject, trying to organize the lawsuit and all the support on this. Cheers to you, guys! You keep deviantART alive!
