Unhappy and Eurasian WOLVES - PHOTOS

Journal Entry: Wed Apr 4, 2012, 12:43 PM


Hi!

Thank you very much for incredible 270 answers under my last journal - I felt like Humon, having so many comments on such cultural issue! :nod: thank you! It was very interesting to read them - sorry, I can not answer all of them, but I read them!

At second, I am unhappy. Everything just seems to go wrong, I feel so useless and absolutely not able to do anything.
And honestly, dA also did not please me.
After some nice long pause, two of my photos were stolen by two different persons, who refused to remove those shots when I told them to do it.
So I reported them through Help desk.
You surely know that my photos are signed. As an evidence, I sent the originals to dA, so staff could clearly see my signature. That signature is visible also on stolen photo, which is just poorly edited.
But dA refused to remove it! :XD:
They said they need me to strictly say some "phrase" like ,,I swear that I am really an original author and owner of copyright" :O_o:

Honestly I felt like an idiot and I gazed at it in disbelief. That evidence I sent was as clear as possible.
To me, this system is very thieves-friendly, while for original authors, there are only complications. I can not believe I need to swear that I am really original author and I need to BEG the admins to remove that stolen work.

So sad.

And I better do not announce those thieves - I bet it would be ME who would have problems, if I informed about them :XD:

Sorry to hear that, and yes, I report art theives all the time and DA never does anything even though I send them a report of the original pictures :( They never even make an effort =_=

ugh I'm sorry to hear that. The only thing I can even think of why they seem to "need" that phrase etc. would be for certain legalities. Otherwise you basically stated that it's yours anyways, so not sure why they are being that way when the evidence is very obviously in your favor. >_<;

some things can just be so stressful. But you have to be strong as a.... umm... A wolf (derp) and start over the next day, forgetting about the past no matter what. xp

The more I stay on this site, the more disappointed I am. It was good when I subscribed for the first time, now, not so much, I don't even feel like posting anymore. I just come to check my messages and see notifications for new devmeets. And my die hard fan for the site who were laughing at me when I stated that last year are even siding with me now...

I´m sorry to hear that your photos were stolen and dA administrators are doing nothing. Just put the names of your thieves in your journal, your legions of watchers will do the rest :).
