Not really defending her here - but sometimes to "protect" their own work they can get too over protective and cause issues like this. I know as a author that I got extremely protective when stories of mine were appearing to be "sold" on a webpage. However I found that those I thought were being sold where being supplied free (which was a part of my "agreement" to websites)... --- okay they were also selling a couple of my stories - but I think you can see the simularity :P Now I don't know the history of this artist, and I won't agree that she went about this the right way, but by far is this the first time this has happened. Almost 6 months ago I remember another instant in where someone accused someone else of stealing a model, and calling it their own. Hell someone told me I had even sold the Jesus picture I did, then deleted that message the moment he figured out he was wrong. So accusing people is the easiest thing to do on the internet - especially since you have little to no risk. As for the "stolen" articles - I would suggest that Bobby contact her credit card companie and ask them to fax stefyzz with the details. This is proof of purchase, and as such if stefyzz doesn't accept it as such - and continues to cause Bobby problems - then Bobby has a real case against Stefyzz for Harrassement. Bobby should then contact her own ISP and place a complaint regarding Stefyzz, and indicate the evidance in her favour. Thus her ISP will then contact the ISP of Stefyzz and things will happen to disconnect Stefyzz from the internet. If this doesn't help - then there is always legal action which can be taken against the harrassment, and it is also possible to get Bobby's bank to get invovled. Either way - Bobby has to make steps to rectify the situations and if Stefyzz doesn't come to the party, then Bobby has true legal options open to her.
