Someone stealing CS art?

[J4 Coltrain]

There is a person on Deviant art attempting to sell CS pets on there account - http://wolfjulia.deviantart.com/gallery/32301588
And I'm not sure where to go for this? I'm reporting all of said stolen deviations, but I thought Tess/Nick would like to know.

[J4 Coltrain]

She has taken down the stolen work, sorry.

[N/A]

Well if this happen again, contact Tess or Nick right away. (I believe) And they can hopefully do something about it.

Thank you for spotting it though, even if it was taken down.


EDIT: Ooh, look at that. They also trace, re-colour and steal lineart....wonderful. *scoots away to report them to dA.

Just report it, it'll get addressed faster than PMing Nick, Tess has her PMs disabled.

Yes. They also have this:

Which is someone's character on here.

Guys, report it. It does no use if you post it because then it gives the user a chance to take it off their DA without consequence.

I can't find the report button, they're selling it in their prints.

Help & FAQ ---->Contact Help Desk ----> DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice. It's best to post the link to the stolen art, the link to the original, and if you can, proof. If you know the CS user who's stealing the character/art, then you should report it too (PM a mod, or report one of their posts, choose "The reported message does not fit into any other category...", and then do the above (link stolen art, etc.).

DA often responds best if it's the original artist who reports the art as stolen, so if you know who the art belongs to, it helps if you contact the artist with a link to the DA page so they can report it themselves. ;3 If you report it yourself as well (since multiple people can report the same deviation), make sure to link to the original artist and the art that has been stolen to make it easier for the DA staff to investigate and resolve the issue.

looks like their whole gallery is just art made by editing art they stole, they probably will get kicked off dA sooner or later
