A while ago i stumbled upon a Shop on Ebay that sells prints. Even though i’m not familiar with all the pictures there... I recognized a few i knew for sure and some that looked strangely familiar from deviantArt.

All i know is, that a lot of deviants are being ripped off.

Now Ladies and Gentlemen i would like you to check out this Shop and contact every Artist you recognize in there. Ask them if they gave their permission (a license) to the Shop, which is making a ton of cash off these prints each and every day. Without giving any respect to the Artists.

The Shop: [link] - It’s a ton of pages but please check through each of them.


Details to the Shop (Things i recognized):

:bulletred: The Shops Head Office is in Germany.

:bulletred: From time to time they remove pics and add new ones.

:bulletred: The Shop is often selling the pics in different sizes.

:bulletred: They are selling EU wide.


Please help to end this and if you find another deviant being ripped off by that shop please let me know.

Thank you very much.

It seems as though all the work has been taken down. I wonder if the user shall be fined for that - I do hope so.

I only upload fairly low res versions of things so am I safe? ( assuming they even want to steal mine which I doubt) Is it people who upload big files who get screwed in this way? Coz surely if you go for the print thing in deviant you must be vulnerable to this kind of thing.

Just draw fanporn on top and nobody will steal it :slow:

You'll still get the same number of views though :lol:

Sadly, i keep reading news from various sites on the internet news regarding this very same subject. I wish i knew how we can protect ourselves from this kind of theft.

i really appreciate the fact that you have posted this news bulletin ...

Thank you so much for that : ))
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

i only recently joined DeviantArt and have begun working on my own folio. I add watermarks to my works, which doesn't make them show quite as nice, but i'm glad for the watermark because it makes it just a little bit more difficult for people to "right-click and save".

I think that the ability to add a watermark on a preview of an artist's work is an excellent feature here in DeviantArt.

One of my favorite artists on deviantart removed all of her stuff off of her site because of this kind of crap. I really miss pu-sama. :pissedoff:
