HOW DO I REPORT STOLEN ART?

Journal Entry: Wed Aug 8, 2007, 10:02 PM
To report Stolen Art:
1. You need to notify the site who has your stolen work and send a DMCA letter to the site. Here is the link to the letter--->[link]

2. Make sure that you complete ALL the information the letter is requesting, and send to the site.

3. Make a copy for your records. Make sure you retain the original link to the ripped art and the thumbnail on DA. (We will need this information should you require our intervention).

4. If you do not get a response within 10 days, please contact us and complete the information below. If you do not provide the information we are requesting and we do not have adequate staff to complete it, your rip may not become a priority for the Team.


REPORTING A POSSIBLE RIP


Since the RATF has been founded, we note that there is a certain way we would like Rip Information reported to us.  It makes it easier when it comes to the investigations.  Please note the following, and keep in mind that it is imperative that we are provided with complete information.

1.  How was the rip discovered?

2.  Has the artist been notified?

3.  Are you the artist who is the owner of the art?

4.  Did you apply one of the creative commons licenses, watermark or copyright symbol to the image?  If so, what kind?

5.  Did you give your permission for the art to be used?

6.  Have you contacted the person who posted the artwork?  If so can you email the response?

7.  Have you contacted the site owner?   If so can you email the response?

8.  What is the URL of the site?

9.  What is your thumbnail on DA to the image that was stolen?

10.  Do you have the contact information?  Can it be provided?

11.  When was this reported to the site in question?

12.  Do you want the RATF to assist you?

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


We are working as hard and as fast as possible to deal with all the information coming in.

We are swamped and apologize - respond times to comments/questions may be slow.

We are not perfect – note us if there is an oversight…it is not intentional.

Comments left on the RATF site by others - are THEIR opinions – not necessarily ours.

We need volunteers who will uphold the volunteer code of ethics.

We WILL NOT tolerate unprofessional conduct or illegal or unorthodox methods… period.

This is not a vigilante task force.

We simply want to help people with their art theft and copyright issues.

We are volunteers and do not deserve abuse, we are merely assisting you to resolve your rip issues!

I don't know if there's anything you can do, but this man and his friends: [link] are stealing photos from dA, cosplay.com, and pixiv. They're claiming the cosplays and art to be their own and my identity was even stolen by one of them. I'm immensely bothered by this and I've gotten a ton of people to report him, but nothing is working.
I don't know what else to do, he's even using my personal photos. (which is beyond creepy.)
Thanks for any help that you can offer. I know this isn't dA photo stealing, but facebook users are just as bad, if not worse :(
