Hi Kristi,
it seems to be a problem between you and paypal, 'cause there is no pending payment in paypal.
I have money there 'cause there is Renderosity payment done on the 2nd of December of $ 39.85.
As you can check this is the payment to Rigormortem that is my husband and we have the same paypal account, so I'm sure there are money on paypal, but there is no payment request from Renderosity.Could check with paypal if there is something wrong...'cause after Renderosity payment we have no movements on our paypal account and it looks like they did not received your payment request for this reason I cannot give you any ID paypal transition 'cause any transition between Renderosity and paypal exist for them.
Sorry for the trouble and thank you for supporting.
Please let me know what I can do or if there is something I must do or we can do.

Best regards
Lara aka Aral3d

WOW!!!No chances against Guido!!!!!I'm terribly curious to see his image!!!!
Congrats to all!

Thank you Aleni, luckly my images there still have my signature...For me it's ok like it is now!Just wanted to know you did for mistake.
I think you should do this offer to Rainfeather.

Don't worry Aleni personally I don't need to accept your offer my images are signed and keep it where I saw them..There are some pics I did in collaboration with some friends, I used their backgrounds with their permission and they are not signed by both of us or by one of the 2 authors...I would them removed, but too big the site to find them again...anyway it's gone...just be careful in the future...
You know, someone asled me if I had permission to used someone else images as backgrounds for my works, of course I had it and you can see they also commented saying they liked what I did with their works, but it doesn't matter, the important thing was to dimonstrate they gave me permission to used it officially...so it's terribly difficult...

This is what I hate, they ask artists that do regular things and they do nothing to those who are stealing really our images...***

I believe you and I'm sure not that you know where the original pics are posted you'll be more careful in take the responsability of what you post and how.
I understand if you find some images around the web with no signature or even if with it you cannot be sure if the person asked permission or not, please be carefull if you see that the pic have a signature on and the name of the person who is posting is not the same be careful...probably is not the authour of it...
I found many images me too, I could use as background for my images, but the risk to do something wrong as it happened to you is big, so I prefer not to take them...

As you can see there are many web site with our images stolen, and you can understand why we were so angered with you, even if you didn't know the reality of it.Be careful in the future, it can happens someone will not accept the explaination that: you didn't know....just be careful..take care

I want to thank Aleni for answering here and for writing the list of web sites which have our images.
PLEASE ACCEPT my apologies if I doubt about you...but as you have been able to see there are so many russian web site which are taking our images, and most of them have been taken from here and often from member of this site too but with different username, so I hope you'll understand our rage.
Unfortunately there are a lot of people don't know what they are doing, as in your case, but there more people that know well what they are doing, because removing signature is something that people do if they know it's forbidden to take it.
I'm terribly sorry for my doubt about you, but you see how easy is to find stolen images.
We are trying to defend our rights, nothing else, personally I don't want to denonce anyone or do something legal to anyone, but I would like to know people respect our works.
We spend a lot of time doing them and a lot of money to do our pics buying stuff, so the minimum is to see our efforts recognised when images are posted.
Thanks a lot to Fatman for his precious help and to Aleni for joying us and explain her situation and giving us the adress of the real responsible!
For me it's ok to see my pic in 1zoom.ru 'cause my pic keeps my signature, even if posted by you Aleni.

I understand...but it seems to me quiet strange that famous (I mean well known) artists image are without signature and the others has it...this is what made me think badly...
Of course I understand it could be possible too...but you know...why do you think artists as Antje, Rain's and Surama's pics have no signature and the others from Rosity have?...you know if she didn't think to do something wrong she would have left their signature too...
For me there is no problem, it's not the first time and not the last one I see my images posted somewhere else, but they keep my signature, so no problem at all...but in this case...you know I won't give her permssion to use mine...not sure she will leave my signature on them or not.
Anyway I'll wait for her answer!
Thanks again for your help Fatman!

Thank you so much Fatman!This is really important for us.
I understand admin position, the problem I think is all Aleni!...
Even if the admin usually has the responsability of what is posted in his website I can understand it's not possible to check all images posted by users...
I think the important is talk to Aleni, I'm sorry but I will NEVER give permission to post my images, I cannot trust one person who is taking other images and remove the signature off from them as she did in Rain's, Surama's, Antje's, Toxicangel's and others!Because if you post someone else images in other site and you keep signature is something, but if you cut the images and post it without signature...this is another thing....So cannot forgive and give her permission of deciding who is the author of my images!
Thanks again for your precious help!!!
Hugs Aralt3

Thank you Fatman117!...the russian web site we are talking about is:
http://www.1zoom.ru
In this site we can find many images taken from Renderosity and most of them are posted by Aleni.
There is also an admin e-mail adress, but I think we can try before to contact this "Aleni".

If you check the 3d section you'll recognised many images from Antje, RGUS,  and many others...
And most of all those by Rainfather the signature has been cutted off...this is a clear violation of copyright...

Now:

1. nobody ask them and us permission to post our images in other web site
2. are they selling our images for cell phone "desktop"?

Could you write him that images taken from RR are just to be saved on HD for personal use and not posted in other site without author permission?!
and please tell him that ask cost nothing!...because take without asking in the west is called...you know!?
Now if he will keep our names and post them with our names and permission is ok, but if he posts them without our permission and he cut off signature....well this is a different subject...
Probably as Drifterlee explained us in Russia there is no copyright laws, but if this web site can be seen by west people...well he is violenting our laws...
Thanks a lot for your help!Aralt3

Yes, it could be an idea!...I did it for Photobucket situation...but I saw already other person did it for Artfile.ru...this is how I discovered this forum...Anyway, if you want we can post tomorrow and image as you said...

Thanks McAfee2000, you know this society show us everyday what is right and what is wrong, but it's also true that all these are ruled by money...
You know many think is not important the battle we are fighting, but you know I don't sell my images, because my art should be free!
I don't want someone gain money from something I let here for free!If I wanted to gain money from my pics I would have contact someone to do it, but I didn't because I don't want to!
So I cannot accept someone is selling my pics...But you know we are little fyes and all alone here...no powerful person is helping us, we are all alone with our thoughts and we spend many useless words...no way to change so big things...alone...
With Photobucket we spend many words and many e-mail and we reach the goal, here in this case nobody is helping us, we are just few and we are just 3 on millions...what we can do?!No help just people saying is something normal what they are doing...I cannot stand that...

OMG!!!Also this one!...This is really too much!...Anyway I leave my pic there...I'm not so famous to have many friends ready to fight to help me and as I already said we are all alone in this battle...so I don't want to risk to find also my pc down!I already lost too much time here with receiving what!?nothing everything is going worst and we are all our 5 people talking here...I'm not anger with you Acadia and you well know it!
Anyway thank you for informing us about this too... :O(

I agree with you hun, I would fight it too...but it's terribly we are all alone in this battle...with photobucket, Lully helped me and we won, but we cannot fight them all, each of them will pop up, if we are just few of us...I wrote a lot of messages to all artists I recognised before for photobucket, then for artifle.ru and now for this one either, none of them answered and didn't post any comment in this forum or previous too, it seems for them it doesn't matter, if we are a community we should do something together as we did for photobucket...but sincerly I'm tired to loose my time fighting  alone or 3 person against the giagants, I feel like Don Chichotte...

I think drifterlee  is doing a wonderful job and she is helping us so much for what she can, but we cannot fight a so big web site  just 3 of us!We all say we are community but these case it seems we are not at all!... :O(

Of course you are right and I totally agree with you...but unfortunately sometimes things are bigger then we are...they also have many images of Louis Royo, that is not a nobody in art...so what we can do except writing them?
Even if they will shut down our images they just move it to a new server with a new name...
So it seems we have hand bound...if anyone more powerful than us do something what can we do!?if there is a way I'll do it...but there is!?which is it?!
With photobucket.com was easier...we all wrote them and they removed the album...but here is not a single album is all the web site based on them...so it means we should make them close it all!...not easy for a little group of artists...

A friend I informed about this site wrote me this:
<<...there not selling your or mine or anybody elses artwork. so technically its not theft. the work is made available by us posting it into the public domain. as long as there not trying money from direct sales of your work, theres nothing anyone can do. ..Im not sure f your aware of the brick wall there is between the easten side of the internet and the westen side. there is "nobody" to complain to. the site is a traffic site..meaning these sites that pop up..have one porpose..to generate traffic..IE clicks...they make there money from advertising...not the art...the art is just a way to make people click. ..so really there just making a fast buck..>>**
drifterlee ***is it right?
Are they selling or not?

Even if they are not selling I think is not right that someone remove Rain signature or someone else signature and sign the image as 1zoom.ru!

So at the end they are only making us publicity!?...O_o**
