Tips on tracking down originals

Tineye is a new program that searches the internet for images, rather than words. It has become an invaluable system in helping track down the originals. It does require you to sign up but it is absolutely worth it.

Another tip on locating originals can be found on Photobucket. Should you find a copy of a stolen picture on that site, you can check the image information which provides the file name. Often times, the original name has not been changed and it will still contain the name of the artist.

Example :pointr: [link]

WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN-- *headdesks over 9,000 times*

I previously sent a private Note to each of those people, explaining why screenshot edits are art theft and linking them to the rules. They've chosen to ignore it. Honestly, what is up with all those ACCURSED video game screenshot "demotivator" posters? I've started clearing them out, but some help would be very much appreciated.

[link] I think just about everything in her gallery is stolen. Oh and alot of the things rated M are just more stolen pictures placed in the literature section.

:icongrimmjow-6-king: :pointr: has an annoying case of Photobucket-syndrome. Don't get fooled by her profile page, she hid her gallery after as soon as I 'reprimanded' her over a particular (and obviously) stolen work such as this :pointr: [link] [original artist is ~Dokiestudioz :pointr: [link] ]. Her response makes me roll my eyes. Typical art thief or ignorant kid. The rest of her gallery are anime screenshots, manga/anime scans (a few which are coloured/manipulated), and anime gifs (which are 'disguised' by thumbnail screenshots/graphics). Someone knock some sense into this kid? Simply showing her the FAQ on what DA considers as art theft fell to deaf ears :roll:

~emopuppy07 motivational posters made out of anime screenshots (mostly from Naruto) and some other stuff that isn't hers.
Does someone know who the real artist of this fanart is: [link]
I've seen it posted to DA and other places for years by everyone and their mother, but I have no idea who drew it.
:iconchinanir654:
[link] A couple of her works seem suspicious.
[link] Already reported all of her recolors and so did another Deviant.
[link] A couple traces and then just some little edits to screenshots.
[link] Tracing.
[link] Recoloring. And her journal has a link to her new account.
[link] Tracer. I didn’t recognize any of the pictures, though.
[link] A trace here and there.
[link] A bit of recolors and screencaps uploaded into her gallery.
[link] She uses artwork in stuff like collages and such.
[link] She has some recolors.
[link] Uploading slopped together screenshots/fanart.
[link] Recoloring.

Some of these were found by looking through the suck-up fans of the one, the only, ~ShizueBluePower!

:iconmatterly:
There is a user by the name of ~Wolf-29 who has been uploading different content found on the internet into her own gallery. I have tried sending her a note discussing the situation, but I was harshly snapped at and decided this could not be solved by simply talking to her.
I have reported her countless of times, but no action has been taken. It has been about 3 months since my last report, and my patience is dwindling. I believe another person is on her case, judging by how fast the girl took down half of the stolen artwork when the good patron gave her a warning.

Here is a piece in particular that bothers me: [link]
It is obviously stolen, judging by the untainted watermark. Also, in the description she admits that someone else drew it, but later she began to insist that it was drawn by both she and her cousin, which blatantly contradicts any claim that she has made. Just look at the comments if any further proof is needed.


Now, after searching around with good 'ol Google, I have found the ACTUAL artist's amazing gallery: [link]

The picture that the theif uploaded was pasted together in Paint, and the actual pieces are separate.
Here they are in order:

I am hoping that other users will be able to crack down on this art thief and force her to remove this and all of the other stolen works (which is anything she has uploaded to her gallery).

Thank you for any support!

:iconautumnthehedgehog: is planning to do art theft again! She stole :iconelessthehedgecat:'s pic not too long ago by recoloring it(which is deleted) and now she wants to take :iconfeniiku: pic for herself even after feniiiku says no. She also harasses other deviants who are Sonamy couple fans and is very hostile to them. [link] I fear that she's gonna do the art theft again since the rules don't apply to her.

~diaxa has wallpapers, manga covers, and official artwork from games and anime in his gallery.

[link] was banned, but ~0000000bacskay is now doing the same thing he was.
Other deviants have already reported him, but apparently at least one report has been deemed invalid by DA staff because it came from a third party and not the artist herself.
Here's what the artist had to say about the previous thief: [link]
I don't know if a link to it was provided in the report that was deemed invalid, but it might be a good idea (but not guarantee of success, as it wasn't in the previous case) to do so.
:iconroninfox:
Ai-yaaaaaa........ *tears at hair in frustration* This person was busted with literally hundreds of images ripped from other people's galleries. Now she's taken to coloring manga scans: ~Genicide-sk8r

And now for a bit of lulz:

[link] To make a long story short, ~HawkfrostsAvenger suggested that dA should have a proper category (other than Scraps) for video game screenshots. The suggestion was promptly shot down, resulting in Epic Pwnage. Now all we need to make it perfect is to report ~HawkfrostsAvenger's screenshots.

:iconkuroku2:
:iconmidzu-sama: edits over screen shots. You can tell by the facial lines. She even admits to this in some deviations.

And some "manga" pages too. But that's probably stolen as well.

ATTENTION DUELISTS! My hair detects a bad artist! (Aka me)

HAI! MAJIDE!!!!
:iconryuu-ima:
:iconzetsuthecannibal: Uploading Soul Eater manga and screen shots.

Ch.1 Cover- [link] Also on this one, I think where he got it from; that person also stole it. I have the manga from the store and where it says "presented by manga-rain" isn't in it; probably a manga stealing person or company or whatever >:\
Ch.1 Pg.1- [link]

They were able to get stolen stuff on the "popular in 8 hours" section though.
Most of their gallery has been reported and removed, but we just need some help getting rid of the last few.
