Hi all, I usually don't post stuff too often unless I have a question or can answer somebody elses but, lately I have noticed ALOT of what I call Image Hijackers posting others work as thier own. Now, maybe its because I have been involved in this kinda stuff for along time or maybe I am just geting better at identifing artists but, it seems to me that this is actually getting to be a problem here. Now, the mods have been great about lookin into the ones I call their attention too and I usually never see them again...This is a good thing. I also noticed many of the members make comments on the offending member's image stating that its a stolen image...this is good too...but perhaps we need a specific mod or mods that deal with this stuff? It pisses me off when I see it and I know it does everyone else too. I guess I am just wondering what can be done about this activity. cuz I basically just goto the MAX forum (thats where I pretty much hang out) and message Mpls OiBoi and let him/her (not sure...LOL) know whats happening...It gets taken care of on Rosity but I also noticed that many of the offending members have personal sites with the stuff posted for download there...does that get taken care of or what? And as for the artists that the offending member ripped off...are they informed (if they are known?) Feel free to add to this cuz I'll read it and maybe learn a bit more about this sad subject.....
