SUSPENDED ACTIVITY ...

Sat Jul 18, 2009, 2:16 PM
We have noticed that while some of our photos have been much appreciated amongst dA members, some have also been offered commercially, and in a context that we do not approve of. We have therefore suspended our own activity while we consider what steps to take next.

Bummer. Yeah, this really sucks, a curse of the digital age. I'm no lawyer, but about all i can come up with is post your copyright, and sue the violaters. That of course costs money, so again, bummer.

Your work is beautiful, and your absence would be such a loss to DA......
:iconrobrip:
Thanks! Still looking at your work though. Keep it coming (if you know what I mean).
:iconfischerbessi:
lol..... oh i will! But i do hate that you have been commercially pirated. And at least temporarily lost to us here on DA.....

Be well my friend! :)

Very sorry to hear this. Of course there are thousands of armchair lawyers on dA who will tell you to sue etc. Unfortunately, copyright laws are not as strong as they should be in this digital age and there are more assholes out there willing to steal your work than you will ever be able to count.

Good luck, and I'll miss your work.

Well I hope you return soon, I'm not sure how you will stop people using your work apart from either NOT uploading or upload copies so small / or with a huge © symbol it wont be worth their time - but that wont show your work off to its full potential, it will be a shame but understandable. Hope to see you and S J soon.

(Sorry I seem to have posted this twice)
