I have a gallery on Zazzle and while looking at others work on there I found that someone had stolen a bunch of my artworks off of my webshots gallery and was posting it on her Zazzle gallery as her own work. Trying to profit from my artwork and even entered one into a contest on there. After going though her gallery and finding a lot of my stuff I wondered how many more people she stole from. I can't be sure but I think I've seen some of it on here or other poser type sites and they may belong to some of you. You might want to check out her gallery to see if your work has been stolen too. Here is her gallery site address on zazzle. <br /> <br /> <span style="color: darkred;">[link removed by Tormie: commercial site]</span> <br /> <br /> I have reported her for stealing my artwork to the zazzle management but her gallery is still up at this time and I'm awaiting to hear back from zazzle about this matter. I see that she may be blocked from zazzle on another copyright violation involving using some clipart that was not hers but from what I can tell her gallery is up and running and you can still purchase from it. I think it's a shame that she should profit from others works. <br /> Hope this helps <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Rene Meyers (Guiltypleasures)

This is bad, They should have already closed the page <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_naughty.gif" alt="" /> . Rene, write the link where are your stolen pieces so that we can point them to zazzle too <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_snooty.gif" alt="" /> . (BTW, welcome back <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/TFR718 (6).gif" alt="" /> )

Thanks Tormie, it's nice to be back, sorry to be gone so long but you know the reasons of my health <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> As for which artwork is mine, here's the links that are my work that she has stolen. <br /> <br /> <span style="color: darkred;">[links removed by Tormie: commercial site]</span> <br /> <br /> this is the first one I saw of mine...my eyes were tired but even I know my own face when I see it, even if it is in a bubble and it's an older photo lol <br /> <span style="color: darkred;">[link removed by Tormie: commercial site]</span> <br /> <br /> <br /> I can't believe this person had the nerve to call these her own and post them on a well known site like this. I'm also pretty sure that others works have been stolen by her and are on her gallery, I've posted this message on both Renderosity and Poserpros to let people there know as well and hopefully if they find their work on her gallery they too will complain. I am going to keep at Zazzle to do something about this until this gal's gallery is history. I just feel bad that if she sold some of this artwork that the rightful artwork owners will never see the money <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/sad.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> Rene

Rene! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Man it is good to see and hear from you. How have you been? <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" />

Hey Kenny, yes it's been a long while, too long actually <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/sad.gif" alt="" /> <br /> I've been okay, still battleing my health problems and it takes it toll on me sometimes, but I try to keep plugging away. I will try and be better about visiting here more (I really really will try harder this time cause Tormie said he's going to put the clubhouse up for sale and that means my penguins will have no more home <sniff sniff> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> So enough about me, how are you doing?

And commenting and reporting. I am happy to say that one by one her items that used your artwork are disappearing from her collection. Now if there was a way for you to get the artist share of what she gain on your efforts, all would be good. <br /> <br /> BTW keep an eye open for her store to disappear. She also stole from some really heavy hitters in the field. For those items, I did not report her to the site. I reported her to the artists who owns them. We are talking major commercial artists. And I am not done yet. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" alt="" />

Tormie; <br /> It is good that the site has taken some definite action. <br /> <br /> I'm glad that you shared this with us; because I was beginning to wonder about their motivations. <br /> <br /> <br /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/happy8.gif" alt="" />

Yep, all is solved now with that gallery removed. I'm going to erase the links to that commercial site now that it's all ok. I'm only sorry that Guiltypleasures popped up only for this occasion <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/very_sad.gif" alt="" />

Yep. That is a bummer. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/very_sad.gif" alt="" />

Gosh...G.P. how wonderful it is hear from you, even under such sercumstances.. <br /> do you know how many people miss you around here, like me <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> <br /> I did not know of this zazzle, but I`m not surprised that cyber space is plenty of art thieves. <br /> stealing ideas stories...etc/ie: crazy3dworld, <br /> problem is how to stop it. <br /> <br /> Peace and good health to you G.P. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" />
