BrandMooreArt Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I once saw a cake at the grocery store with a James Harden wallpaper I had made on it. You can spot my watermark on the bottom right. Delicious plagiarism.Still, you've gotta admit that's pretty sick to have your design on a cake.even better with your logo. throw your portfolio link in there next time. free advertising!

Not only did they steal it, but they removed what I believe are necessary details and made a pretty lame shirt out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not much in terms of "protecting your work," but at least it combats it by theoretically pulling sales away from him.

JPDesign Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Here's a new one. I came across this helmet concept on the popular section of Dribbble. Though the title of the shot is "Helmet Icon," he said nothing about the helmet render being made by Fraser Davidson, and all the comments are praising the shading, rendering, etc. So I made a comment attributing the helmet to Fraser. Now he blocked me.I'm sure some of our other CCSLC Dribblers can set him straight.https://dribbble.com/shots/1682382-Helmet-icon?list=shots&sort=popular&timeframe=now&offset=13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdougfresh Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I posted something, but I'm sure he'll delete mine too. Reported the post, too. I'll let Fraser know, he's good about this stuff (and entertaining) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1clkgtramg Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I have tried looking for report buttons on images and even the "artists" main hub but there never seems to be an option there.

VictoriaGooner Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Same...I liked Doug's post. Wish I could have reported him and wrote a response to it but can do neither.

kewp80 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 If someone would invite me so I can comment on these :censored: hole's posts I would love to do so. Also wouldn't mind being able to post some stuff of mine All this crap seems really stupid, but this is one of the many downsides to the age of social media and the internet. Don't get me wrong there's lots of positives, and I think Dribbble is an awesome site, but you gotta think things like this would totally happen. I'm down to help out anyway I can.Last I saw Doug your comment was still up. There were 2 likes including mine. Quote Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

drdougfresh Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 To be honest, I think the best defense (even more so than watermarks and all that) is being an active part of a network like Dribbble, Behance, or even here. I've gotten tips from people I've spoken to maybe once before on work that was being shared without attribution, all because I was visible and active on those networks.So, while it may be tempting to shell up and watermark the ever-living out of your work, keep creating, keep posting it, and the general community will (usually) keep an eye out for your work. Think about it -- there are guys who post work all the time, and you know their styles. I hate to use the ever-common example of Fraser, but his work is unique and he spreads it far and wide. When someone steals his work, everyone knows because they've seen it somewhere. The more often you create those exposure opportunities, the more likely you'll be alerted by a fellow community member (if you don't catch it yourself).If I see something familiar, I always look around to see if it's something I recognize for a reason, and then let the artist know. Yu Masuda's Bengal actually made it on to one of MVPTees' shirts, so I sent him a quick note.We're much stronger as a community, think of it that way. It sucks that it happens, but threads like this give me a little bit of hope that our work is somewhat protected still. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max didn't know about them and he sent a email to mvptees to have them stop selling the shirts. Max also said that he will take legal action if the situation continues.

kewp80 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Saw this on my facebook news feed. Pretty sure this was made by someone here on the forums in an all sports city thread. Felt I would share to make sure no one is getting ripped off on this.Here's the link: http://www.productiontees.com/products/1edd0cbd9837d63e?fbs=6017442979132 Quote Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

OliverP Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I've just read the whole thread and found some great advice. Just found out not to long ago that an amateur football (soccer for the yanks ) club called HNK Mostar Melbourne has ripped the heck out of my Zrinjski logo update that I've posted here and on Design Football forums.Here's my logo: http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/99521-bosnia-and-herzegovina-premier-league-redesign-516/And this is what they've did with it, plus the jersey which is reminiscent of my 3rd kit for Zrinjski:No credit what so ever. I've e-mailed them and threatened with a lawsuit, since they are making money off of my design. I want my name somewhere of their page or in the logo's picture description, but if they don't give me my well deserved credit, then I don't have any other choice then to bring up a lawsuit. Is watermarking, or copyright sentence in the bottom of our work's picture the most we can do. *creating a Flickr account* Quote Dribbble Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
