Hi Everyone -
It has been brought to my attention there is a site that is posting and selling images as prints without the permission of the artist.
Please have a look at this site and if you see your artwork and you did NOT give permission for it to be on there, please let me know so I can do whatever I can to have the images, as well as the site, removed.
You can also write to them and ask them to remove it and sign the petition to have the site itself removed as well.
Here is a link to the site: http://payposter.com</http:>
Please send me a site mail or email to kristis@renderosity.com.
Warmest Regards,
Kristi

I sent you a site mail ... they got both Bill and me. :(

Yes I found one of mine there as well. Tried to use the contact form over there but it only showed some error when sending.

just tried accessing the site but Malwarebytes declared it a malicious site

Guys, be careful with that site. They are most likely not selling anything at all, but is purely a phishing scam. Do NOT give them any of your information, do NOT sign up for anything, do NOT attempt to buy anything.. all they want is your info. Several people have already got warnings from their AV about it being a malicious site.

Best of luck getting any site in the Ukraine taken down or doing anything about copyright issues. And this is nothing new.
And yes, some of my stuff is on there as well.....

There have been a few warnings about them using people's artworks over on DA, too. They had several of my store promo images, but they removed them when I used their 'report' function.

I will do whatever I can to have everyone's items taken down.
Here is the petition to sign (I finally found it):

Anyone know where we can get a good cruise missile cheap?
I've seen several warnings about malicious software on this site, so yeah, be really careful!

I'd advise people to really steer clear of that site, there are way too many warnings that it's a malicious site.

How do you view the images without signing up? I am not about to sign up for a site that is that "iffy".

Hi Everyone,
I just want to let you all know that I double checked today and it seems as though I got all of your images removed from this site as I double checked today.
I wish you all a wonderful week and the very best

I couldn't check as this is the kind of sites I don't want to allow scripts running, and you can't view anything when scripts are not allowed... Glad you're taking care of this ! :)

All scanners on virustotal.com report the main URL is clean, but other pages on the site may not be.
