Every day it have some artists who have to deal whit this and it is not so simple to have what it belong to you!!!!! You have to loose your time to prove,prove and prove Grrrrrrr MICKEYRONY

Je sais mon ami... cela est un veritable probleme avec les oeuvres numériques mais il n'y a pas de vrais solution helas... Bon courage et bonne semaine !!!

Have I now understand correctly that someone is using your images without permission.? I think that's not right! Big smile to you!

Oh i love this one very cool and as long as u put anything on the web it can always be stolen and we are at their mercy not much we can do about it my friend and i am sure we all feel the same.

I remember the first time you shared this photo with us Mickey, and I am sad to hear that someone has stolen it. People need to show proper respect to other artists in the community and their work. Stealing photos or images from someone who worked hard on them is just wrong. In a lot of cases if you simply ask the artist or photographer if you can use their image in a project they will agree as long as you give them the proper credit.

Dear Mickey, i agree with Magnus073, i know also that you have shared this photo with us a long time ago, but i also now if you whant to used it you only can ask. It's so simple to do that. And now i have a quistion to you dear Mickey.....is it oke if i use this photo witch you have shared a long time ago. To make a beautiful image for you. Please let me know. Greetings and hugs Adrie.

It is true that now, everything happens so fast on the net, once work stolen, it is rapidly multiplied and we can not stop it. An excellent image to denounce this fact.

well, as there are a diverse membership at renderosity the odds of someone taking the same capture from the an identical vantage point is not as uncommon as one would imagine. even with the same brand of camera. I know that some artists work is used without their permission and it has happened to me. actually I was told by the person after the fact. it is a chance one takes if they want to share their art or photos

It is a sad state of affairs when someone steals your art or photos. Most of us would say yes you can, if they would only ask, and give you credit.

There are so many places to get free backgrounds, why not just use one of those? If you're going to use someone's image you should ask first - or at least give credit to them. I'm sorry this is happening to you Michel.

do you know where this is happening? did you see any of mine there my friend? i agree with dave on this mickey.

Happens all the time I'm afraid and as some has stated above that if they would at least "ask" permission that they probably would be surprised to find out most would be flattered and say yes but those that just take and basically flip their middle finger to those they steal from is not acceptable or right but as many have stated no matter what watermark or name is placed upon the image with programs like Photoshop that removing said name or watermark they think we won't notice...Shame really but what is one to do?....I feel yours and others pain on this subject Mickey!....(sigh)

Ah, Mickey, I'm so sorry this happened to you! This just happened to a bunch of us over on Facebook, very blatant thievery and then they tried to play the 'I didn't know I couldn't do this' game. I don't know why people do this when most of us will give permission to tubers and taggers when they ask to use images. I'll never understand how easily people can steal! :(

I think it is shameful that anyone stills others hard efforts, and claims them as there own, but at the same time realize that it is part of having an open gallery, and simply live with it. Only other option would be to never show it period. :(

Que triste que roubaram sua foto Mickey,eu lembro que você postou essa foto e você me deu junto com outras maravilhosas fotos,é lamentavel a pessoa deveria pedir permissão para você para usar sua foto,penso que a Web é um lugar que não podemos ter controle sobre nossas obras,existem muitas pessoas que tem acesso.

It is not fair when someone use your work without asking. I do not know if someone stole any of my pictures up to now. I can only say that there is artist and other people who asked if they can use my pictures and I am happy to have given them the pictures that they need. Outstanding work my friend. God Bless.

So sorry that someone is so crass and lazy to steal your work, rather than to go out and do their own work! (that could be because they don't have a creative bone in their body) We just resolved a problem with someone on FaceBook who was stealing images from Renderosity - after being blasted continuously for several days, the stolen art was removed.

I had this happen with my work too! It is terrible & I am sorry it has happened to you!

I would NEVER ever steal anyones work. Sorry you are having trouble Mickey!! xx

Some ask permission, others just take. So sad Mickey.

le problème du partage sur le net :( en tout cas, celle ci est bien faite !!

I'm sorry people do this... your work belongs to you.

I didn't think people did that here!

I'm sorry they stole your work

sorry to hear about that!

That's a real shame, Mickey!

magnus073 amd richardphoto is right. I know my work been stolen and one time some one showed me a image I did a long time ago on another site. I had to laugh at that one because I the one who posted it on that site under a differ name.

I would have said exactly what my bro Dave (magnus073) said. I am very sorry for you and understand how annoying and upsetting this is, as I have had work stolen too!! take care Mickey, hugs Jane xx

A bunch of us just dealt with a couple of art thieves. Happens all the time. O.o

Je me souvient aussi de cette Photo - C'est domâge qu'on vole le travail des autres, mais aussi les idées!
