My work claimed as someone elses



Okay this a real first for me here on DA.  After so many years I have never had the problem or I just haven't seen it first hand.  I was browsing through my deviantwatch and  I saw a work that contained my stock so I click on it to check it out and clicked on the stock links and this person has uploaded my pre-made background and is calling it here own under photography no less.  


Hers :thumb207563624:  Mine Premade BK Stock 131 by FairieGoodMother  

She has also used some of my other pre-made backgrounds and does not give credit at all but claiming as her own work.   I didnt realize how angry this would make me.  I mean to just upload with out any changes.   Please help me get this deviation taken down from her gallery.  Please report it.  








I am so Excited:excited:

I was invited a while back to join my Lovely friend who has created a Awesome website for very inexpensive resources and I have finally had time to submit some of my stocks there.  I will be offering tubes and backgrounds.  So Please check it out:heart:  and get the Freebie of the month:giggle:

I will continue to offer Free background but at the same time I will also be selling some to help me keep producing them.  It just gets to expensive to keep buying stocks and then giving them away for free.  I wish I could but times are hard as I am sure everyone knows:(  Please check this website out.  They are VERY inexpensive and affordable and it just helps us a little to continue with providing stocks for you:glomp:







:spotlight-left:Da  Rules!!!:spotlight-right:

:iconlisabagherpour:


There are only a few simple rules to use my stock:


:new::bulletyellow:My premade backgrounds.:bulletyellow:
Please do not use just a section of the background (example:just the moon or birds).  It is meant to be used as a whole.  Otherwise please go to that particular stock or stocker and use from there.
:bulletyellow: Credit me in your description with a link back to the original stock photo or to my main page.
:bulletyellow: You must leave me a comment with a link to the deviation you've created. I want to see and :+fav: it.
:bulletyellow: I give full permission to use my stock in prints.
:bulletyellow: BE CREATIVE! Do NOT use my stock if you're only going to do minor changes like changing hue/saturation, texture overlay, or only put a border around the picture, etc.
:bulletyellow: You cannot manipulate my stock to make other stock unless permission is given.
:bulletyellow: I reserve the right to request an un-watermarked copy of Manipulations using my Female and Male stock. I am keeping a keepsake book for my Kids.
:bulletyellow: Do NOT enhance and upload my photos as your own!
:bulletyellow: You may use parts of my females costumes/dresses but you may not cut out the face and replace with someone else's face!!! Unless permission is granted.


But most of all...HAVE FUN!!! :D

Just down right stupid isn't it!? Do they really think it won't eventually get noticed? With DA as large as it is it would be something hard to police but still silly. I recently had a message from someone wanting to know if they could use my stock and when I inquired for what purposes they replied they wanted to sell my stock... which I was surprised that they would ask without offering compensation in the initial inquiry. This isn't just requesting to use stock to make something of their own to sell this was packaging up several if not most of my stock to sell on as is... go figure... I wouldn't even think to ask someone that without offering something considerable as compensation. I'm hoping I'm not going to start seeing my stuff for sale now :(
Sometimes fake identities start accounts just to download stuff and need to put something up in their galleries to look legitimate. This might be the case here? I've also noticed and increasing number of Chinese suppliers on Ebay selling photographic backdrops and I'm wondering where they might be getting some of their stock from... maybe here?
