FanArt Theft via YouTube

[avamclean]

So this person's video steals a lot of my f-listers hardwork aka artwork and uses it their crap'tastic slide show without any sort of credit given. Feel free to leave them reviews such as I did. Perhaps I was a bit harsh, perhaps not harsh enough since they haven't deleted it yet.

you could always report it - youtube is pretty quick to take down 20th century fox material.

I just figure that out and I've already reported it for copyright. I feel like a tool doing that to someone but they stole someone else's hardwork first darn it!

I agree - I imagine that the other videos have stolen video clips from other people - which is also wrong.

I left a comment too, that kind of them makes me really angry. I just hate it. I reported it too and I hate doing that, cause that is my biggest problem with youtube.

Oh well, hopefully the person gets the message, it's not that hard to give credit where credit is due.

It's really not. Though to be honest I still would have checked with the artists to make sure they were using their art with permission. I don't like or tolerate plagiarism of any kind.

Why, oh why must some people suck so badly?

[avamclean.livejournal.com]

Cause they're douch bags?

See, this is why I always double check with people who make fanart for me before I post it anywhere. I know logically it was made for me, however, it is there work and they should have the right to decide whether it goes up on my site or not. :D *hugs*

I check with people before I post work I created for their stories. It's called being polite and apparently we know how to be. ;)

*nods* I waited a day to see if they would delete the vid like the last one did when I commented on them stealing artwork from Rt66 to create videos.

They didn't, so I made a public post about it. Though now they've disabled their ratings and comments... I suppose I can flag it again for copyright.

Yeah, I'm reporting them too. I know who did one of the manips, because she made some of them for me!

I left a comment as well. It'll probably be deleted soon though.

[tanukis.livejournal.com]

This person is really awesome - NOT! I suggest comments left on her channel about this is a good idea as well, makes more people aware of her theft beside those just visiting the video in question.

should consider reporting her completely to YT and get her deleted, that'd be awesome revenge! :)

[tanukis.livejournal.com]

Video has finally been deleted! Seems the poster realized she couldn't escape the masses

[dharkapparition.livejournal.com]

I got a response from her regarding my comment:

Im sorry! Deleting vid.Will not do again!

[avamclean.livejournal.com]

Damn skippy.

[avamclean.livejournal.com]

It's too bad she didn't act like that the first time everyone reviewed.
