This time, I found my art on chinese market site (no ads). Just look at that. And here's a link to that picture on MY deviantart http://marshallvex.deviantart.com/art/Prime-warframes-chibi-family-507805376 I'm sad about it. P.S: there's also Yuikami's, RedSkittlez's and other's art stolen as well. Edited February 25, 2016 by VexPrime mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagingGrizzly Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) "Original design" my rear-end. Is there anything you can do about this thievery? Edited February 25, 2016 by PUR3K1LL3R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatantfool Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Unfortunate that people are preying on you guys. Wish I knew how to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)AngelShur Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Why so Vex, Prime? >.> You can give support a try and see what will come out of it... Good luck buddy! See China or just Asia work under different rules that we're use to and it's very difficult to stop or even try to sue them, sadly. The same goes for inventions that require patents and dozens of agents to control/policing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AM-Bunny Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 So on websites like redbubble this sort of thing happens all the time. Basically, they don't monitor who uploads what. However, in that case, if a copyright holder became aware of the theft, they could issue a takedown notice, and redbubble would usually comply and remove the shirt from their website. I'm not sure if such an option is available for this website, but it might be worth looking into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Kyubey- Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Go report it on the website it's being listed on. I don't think DE can/will do much to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom_Bunny Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) Contact; support, community managers, possibly Steve (just cause). These contacts would help more then the forums. If you do intend to inform the community of this problem, then post this thread anywhere but off-topic. It's quite a large problem between the community and developers, not a subject that can be ignored. Edited February 26, 2016 by Postal_pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackNeutron Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Ask them to share the profit with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freelancer27 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 At some point, there will always be people who would strip someone else's work just to get decent profit. Not even the Corpus couldn't stomach like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecapitatingJim Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) OP why did you censor what site it is? For anyone wondering, that website is a sorta catalog / bargain basement for China stuff. A bunch of different companies list things on it and that serves as a middleman for buyers and sellers.

Ibro156 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I don't want that guy, but the Art work doesn't technically belong to you. If you read the EULA, it belongs to Digital Extremes, you can complain and report them, but it won't do much. Sorry :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Grihaly Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Find out who it is and file a lawsuit on them. Then take their house. JK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry :/ I think the EULA is referring to original artwork by the developers, not fan art. Actual confirmation could be given to prove/disprove this, but who knows. Edited February 27, 2016 by Spot.

satsujinki01 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 They stole it from you? At least you may sue them because it is your original work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasaiTsume Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Fan art is always stolen and exploited. Just be sure to Watermark yur stuff to prevent people from stealing and misusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSI_CosmicKitten Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I had a friend of mine suffer this kind of thievery behavior, like you, he also uploaded his stuff to deviantArt until this happen. He still uploads the resources to deviantArt but instead of uploading the transparent image he started adding complex backgrounds and watermarks (Let deviantArt add the Watermark or add it yourself). Never heard of any other problems, it's boring to cut renders with the pen tool and more to fix a watermark. Yes, you won't be able to combat those who want to pen tool the shape and re-do it themselves but at least you added one layer of boredom to the process of stealing such artwork. Sad to see that people do this kind of things and i hope it never happens again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are posted on forums, it becomes Digital Extremes property Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
