I have just read a very important journal by KibatheMonster, informing us that there is a site out there that is deliberately stealing dA/tumblr artists' work and putting them up for free download (I've even heard rumors that they're using these free downloads to spread malware and viruses, so be careful): kibathemonster.deviantart.com/...
The site in question: axsoris.com/
I went searching on the site to see if anything of mine had been stolen. Thankfully nothing was, but I instead came across several pieces from artists whom I enjoyed very much. I've already informed four deviants that their artwork had been re-posted on the site, and I'm making this journal for everyone else who's art may be there.
This is absurd. That site has no right to steal dA's beautiful artwork and use it to trick innocent people into downloading a virus onto their computer! It just makes me so angry! dA needs to do something about this, so I've set up a petition on this journal. If your artwork has been stolen by these people, or if an artist you admire has been stolen from, please sign this petition and show your wishes for this issue to be solved.
To sign, simply leave a comment below saying "I sign!" and fave this journal to spread the word around.
Petition
This petition proposes:
-For dA to put a stop to this insulting art theft.
Due to the explosion of comments overnight, I will not be keeping a list of all the participants. A simple comment count will be enough to get our point across. Thank you.
