RE: Please Stop Cheating :D

Urgh, sorry to hear this. It is very frustrating!
It’s the same with music, you have to audio tag everything if you don’t want your tracks stolen!
It really sucks you have to deal with this & it causing you more work!

Sort:  

Yeah pain in the ass, especially since there is so much good that can come from all of this. But ye people will be people and thus emotional, in this case greed

I feel ya, totally destructive & disruptive! Not only do they harm themselves but the art as is, it's like a honor codex amongst artist NOT to steal, you can be inspired, but NEVER EVER STEAL!!

This is a subject dear to my heart, so I am a member of the Copyright Alliance. They fight for the rights of artists in every walk of life - musicians, photographers, painters etc. I lose thousands of dollars every year from people stealing my work and using it to promote themselves. I have even come across two on Steemit so far! A lot of money was made from one of the posts, but I got nothing of course, because the work was a stolen piece of eyecandy!

Thanks for this info @dmcamera
The copyright alliance is here on #steemit?
I am really sorry to hear about the theft of your work, very unnerving!
