Art & Inspiration Copyright Infringement....Stolen Artwork

It's amazing that even with a the watermark, they will still go to any lengths to steal it. Might there be a way to keep an image from being copied and reprinted on line? Don't some Government web sights have a way where you can't right click on their image and try to print the pages on it?

 

Be patient, the social media giants are real busy right now booting people off their forums. (priorities).That's a whole other issue we won't get into, but the timing of your claim probably couldn't be worse.

Stay after TeeChip, FB and ebay. And once your claims are satisfied, retain the name and contact info of the person that handles your claim so you can reach out directly to them if/when this thief starts listing your stuff again under a new username.

BTW, Love your work!!!

 

Some websites do make it a bit harder to copy images, but it isn't hard to get around. You have the image in your computer if you are looking at it, just a matter of getting to the file - or pressign the "print screen" button to copy what's on the screen, then you can paste (CTRL-V) it into whatever image software you choose. Here's a copy-paste of me writing this post. Took me about ten seconds.
