DA User Stealing & Editing Adult Artists’ Work
6 years ago
General
I don’t usually do this but there’s a user on Deviant Art who is posting edited, censored explicit work of furry artists with no credit or permission given. If you’re in the Spyro, Lion King, or Disney fandoms or recognise any of these artists, you may want to check to see if your work is here. DA will only do something about art theft if it’s reported by the original artist.

thats a lot of stolen art, holy moly
Yeeeah. The editing is good, but it’s not cool to do that to somebody’s hard work without their permission. It’s also illegal.

I recognize LewDango's work immediately, but I'm not sure of the others.

Friends and I have been reporting that account every other week for the past five months, with sources for most of the art being stolen. DA is doing nothing and doesn't care, it's ridiculous.
It's there in their reporting policies, unfortunately: you can't report stolen work unless you're the person that's been stolen from. If you can get in touch with the original artists, they're the ones who can do something about it, but that's it.
That's a really crummy thing to do.. I despise DA's reporting system, it's abysmal. Coming from someone who had their art stolen by the hundreds of submissions and when I reported them with sources to my original artwork, they did absolutely nothing about it. >> I'll try to contact LewDango about it tho, because this is unacceptable. Unfortunately I don't know the other artists on there.
