This morning as I was strolling thru blogs, I came across one in particular...I will not mention
any names, but there was this beautiful collage sheet up for sale....With closer inspection...some of my imagery was used in creating the collage sheet!
I did a double take...shaking my head! I ask myself..."Am I really seeing this?"
I am furious!
How could they?
As artists yourself, I am sure you undertand how hard it is to make a go for yourself in the art world! Am I right?
If there is anything I cannot stand...is people that steal or lie!
Why would someone do this sort of thing? It hurts me beyond belief!!!
Hoping that they see this post....Let's go over my TOU shall we!

You are way too kind - you should tell us who it is so we can all go and cyber-shout at them. This is theft, it is no different than stealing from a shop (although somehow this seems worse). Onfortunatley there are thieves everywhere and although the internet has opened up a great world for artists and crafters, it has also made it too too easy for thieves.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a sad state that people are so scandalous. It's true that theft is a part of business. I'm sorry for your loss! Will you confront said thief? You should, but I doubt much can be done.
ReplyDeletemaybe you can make us aware of the thief so we don't patronize their store?
I'd like to know who it is so I don't purchase from them, like Lotus said. :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you contact them & report them to whatever service they're using to sell their sheets.
Oh Nancy, that's BAD!!! I would be furious too! You did contact them, didn't you?
