A Start

Mon Mar 24, 2008, 3:48 PM
Here at :iconart-fuzz:, we would like to (or at least try to) help the ever growing problem of art theft. Most deviants will have noticed that art theft is a growing problem. Even if one person were to report a stolen picture, it would not be taken down. It takes a bunch of people reporting the picture to get said picture taken down.

This is where we come in. We want to get a large group of people against art theft to join together in the fight against it. This means that we need supporters; people who are ready to find art stealers, note the Art-Fuzz so that we can notify the person responsible, and be ready to report if the person refuses to take it down.

Now, don’t think that we are all hard-core, trying-to-take-the-fun-out-of-DA type people. We, like any other club, will hold contests, put up Anti Art-Theft art that our members post, and just generally have fun like we’re supposed to on DA, of course.

Our club is almost non-existent, and might not even work, but we’re trying. We just hope that it gets noticed by the community and helps rid it of art thieves and/or stolen art.


~Joining~
Now, like any club, there are rules to join and be on the club. (Sorry, but there are.)

1.) You must not have stolen art in your gallery. If stolen art is in your gallery, you will be asked to remove it before you may join. If your art that at first was not proven to be stolen is in fact stolen, you will get a notice from the :iconart-fuzz: requesting that it immediately be taken off. You will temporarily be suspended from the club until you send a note saying that you have taken the stolen art down. You will then be back on the club! Yay!

2.) If you wish to join, simply send a note telling us a reason you would like to help us in our attempt to bring down art thieves. You should be responded to within a few days.

3.) Have fun, and remember to report an art thief if found. Also join in reporting an art thief when a journal is posted saying so.

4.) We ask that you not flame the art thief. If you feel a need to express your anger, express yout feelings in a mature way. In short, don't cuss them out; say something about how you don't like that they stole the picture, and that you are going to report them if nessesary.


It’s a start. :)

This club still active? If so, maybe it could become an affiliate to :icondeviantartairforce: and :iconantiartthieving: clubs
It wouldn't hurt, might help. There's a real threat of art theft now. Mostly newbies. ^^;

Yeah, we only get on every few weeks because this club doesn't really have very many members. How would I go about being an affiliate to those clubs?

Just note them and ask if they can be affiliates, or you can be an affiliate of their clubs. The more the merrier....there's a tidal wave of art thieves that just keep on coming. Asking wouldn't hurt. :)

:iconspeed-over:
Fans of this group, I'm not to sure if you know the artist :iconfrozenshade6669:, but she is well known for stealing art and using it to make these TERRIBLE looking bags with paint. When she is confronted about it she will argue for sometime, before she gets the threat of a lawsuit and THEN takes it down off the website. I do know that even though she takes them down off the site, she still sells these bags at art shows, so she still benefits from stealing. However, I would keep an eye on her because who knows if she will do it again.
:iconart-fuzz:
Alright. While we can't really do anything about her selling the bags, we can certainly help with her advertising them on DA. Do you have any links of certain pictures she has stolen and one of the actual artist's work?

Thank you and get back to us.

Being that you guys found me through my old art ripping stamp, I wanted to put a link to the new one on here. [link]
Not meaning to spam, I'm just deleting the old one and thought I would pass this one over here.
