FANPAGE ON FACEBOOK REFUSES TO CREDIT FANARTISTS!!!



WELL THERE MY BELOVED FANARTISTS FRIENDS BE CAREFUL FOR THERE IS A FACEBOOK PAGE THAT REFUSES TO GIVE YOU CREDITS FOR YOUR HARDWORK JUST BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY FOUND IT ON GOOGLE!!!
ISN'T THAT NICE???

Well… now, seriously…
I follow some facebook pages.
To tell you the truth I follow the ones that credit artists for their work, because I find it nice to click on the link they provide of their galleries and almost die of happiness seeing other wonderful artworks from the same person on their own site.

But yesterday a Saint Seiya Page I follow had a funny comic stolen by a famous Anime Page on Facebook. The ADMs claim they found it on google already the way it was. Without the SSpage logo. And they put their logo on that comic, posted on their page as if it was theirs. Because seriously, when you put your logo on a work you found on internet you are automatically saying IT IS YOURS! And, of course, you agree with me that if that is on Google somebody else did it, right? So that image is not yours.

Well… So there was a little argument on a thread where the page administrator tried to give lots of excuses till they could no longer sustain what they wanted people to believe was the truth. They made some half-assed and arrogant apologies and deleted the post (fortunately many of us took Printscreens of the thread).

When everyone thought it was done…
Surprise, surprise!!!
They started posting stuff arrogantly attacking people and saying:

"Internet is FREE!" (I guess they meant free to steal as much as they want)
"If you don't want it to be stolen DO NOT POST ON INTERNET"
"I've found on internet so it is MINE!"

But that is not all. Wandering through their wall image posts I've found MANY artwoks from DA. Some were even cut where the artist wrote stuff and the images sustained their page Logo.

Down here you can see some of the ones I could find on DA and on Pixiv.
(in case they delete them from the site I took Screenshots of all of them)

The one above has quite an impact specially because they say:

"Com eu já disse, antes FACEBOOK É LIVRE. Podemos postar o que quisermos, e pegar imagens da onde quisermos."

Translation:"As I already said before, FACEBOOK IS FREE. We can post whatever we want and get images wherever we want."

A HUGE loge at that one... O_O/


OH god... I had to stop there… I was really getting irritated.
And this is not even 1% of stolen stuff they post. Oh, I mean… its not stolen, they are "found". And so they took the ownership by cutting signatures or posting their logo over the artists names…

As you can see, someone is making fame (and getting a bunch of 'likes' on the fanpage) over lots of other artists while they work theirs asses off on an artwork that will end up being on their page with their logo over the real artist name.

Please!
If you are against it, spread it!
Protect your stuff and the stuff from the artists you like!
I even suggest people to take a look inside their whole gallery to try and maybe find something of yours.

This is the Page: [link]

Who knows… some pages Edit stuff on purpose so they get many "likes" on Facebook. That way the page gets a higher commercial value. I'm not accusing them of doing so but the way they were so angry about our arguments how can we not think that way?

Some are even making use of FAKE accounts to threaten the ones that are unpleased about it.

Shame on them.


Hope I haven't taken much of your time, my dears.
But I had to write this not only because their attitude is a complete lack of respect but to warn everyone about some trying to call attention getting advantage of those who do the hardwork!


See ya!

Sugar ants have been invading my bathroom for the past 2 months, and for the life of me i could not find what it was they were eating. So i decided to follow the now visible trail of ants across my bathroom to end up under the sink. They were eating old fish food we'd forgotten to throw away. oops
