GRRR!!

Oh god I feel SO SICK and tired of putting my pictures up on the web. You think 'It's ok, people won't steal it, and if they do, well you can contact the people in charge of the site or thing or whatever and they'll do something about it'
But it's getting on my nerves so much!! WHY can't people get it into their THICK SKULLS that stealing is WRONG!!! For fuck's sake!
Just today I got an email from a friend of mine, telling me that someone had put something of mine up on Ebay! Some little [insert suitable swear word here] took my Disturbed Band drawing and stuck it up on Ebay as their own for SALE!! Some little bastard's trying to get money from MY drawing!!

I mean... WTF?? Is just nothing safe from greedy little buggers anymore? I'm just... so... so... incredibly pissed off. I'm going to try to contact Ebay somehow to see if they can do something about it.

Thanks for listening to my rant...

....There's nothing I could say that would make it better... although I wish there were....

.....However... I do back you on this... there is no justification for some fucker who's after a quick buck...

grrr people who steal other peoples art need to die, i cant beleive anyone would have the nerve not to mention the nastyness to do something like that!

if you contact ebay i'm pretty sure they have to do something about it, also it might be advisable to use a watermarking prog, i hate them myself cos i think they can ruin a piece when badly placed but at least it makes your work a *lot* harder to steal..

O.O *stares* ....Oh...wow..! They are actually trying to sell it?! o_o' That is terribly wrong. Do you know that person, like have they ever commented on your art or anything? Hopefully Ebay can do something about it!! That's just horrible, and to think, they might make some money off of something you put your time and effort into. *hugs* I'm really sorry, malta. I hope it all gets worked out!

Yeah don't stand around, that is highly illegal, tell the "authorities" and bust that guy for stealing, sue them :angry:

Ok, now that's the poorest thing I've seen in a whole while...

If Ebay doesn't believe you I'm sure you've got a lot of witnesses here to prove your case by writing to Ebay as well. Just keep us informed on the whole thing!
