Turns out, there’s an ENTIRE website making money off of stolen art. It’s called CopyCover, and even the fucking name implies that it steals art for phone covers (which it does exactly that).
SPREAD THIS MESSAGE LIKE THE PLAGUE
Here’s some screenshots of phone cases that could include stolen art!(YOUTUBE-RELATED. There may be other fandoms involved in this too!!) I found my art in this!!! If you recognize an artist, PLEASE inform them!
(Take note that there IS a slight possibility that some of these are not stolen, and are the actual artists selling their stuff, but this website stole MY art, so I’m assuming it’s stealing everyone’s. I follow a lot of these artists shown here, and none of them have EVER promoted this website)
AND BEFORE YOU SAY: “Oh! They credited the artists, so it’s okay!”
NO. IT’S NOT OKAY. THIS WEBSITE IS MAKING MONEY OFF OF OTHERS’ ART WITHOUT PERMISSION. THAT IS STEALING. IT DOESNT MATTER IF CREDIT IS GIVEN. PERMISSION FROM THE ARTIST NEEDS TO BE GRANTED. (That’s like if you stole money from a bank, and “credited’ them by saying which bank you stole from).
PLEASE HELP SPREAD THIS MESSAGE! THANK YOU.
(I will tag artists shown in the examples above, and I will tag people that can help spread this around!)
here are some of the artists i found on the website (whose tumblr accounts i could find). many images have outdated usernames or are from deviantart, and of the deviantart accounts few had a tumblr url link on the page, so there are dozens more i found that i cannot tag. be careful, and please boost!!
