They are stealing artworks from all over DeviantArt and FurAffinity, then posting them as “paintings on canvas” with huge price tags. Please please check to see if anything of your’s has been taken, and file a DMCA with the site’s host.
Please pass this on so we can get this disgusting thing shut down.

is Furr Affinity A Good Place To Show My Art As Well As DeviantArt?
I'm afraid I don't know much about FurAffinity.
oh ok
Yes it is- it's pretty much the same as DA just more "furry" oriented. They track down thefts and such like DA does, and because of the smaller community- some artists even think it's better. Me personally, I'm just to lazy to be active on it, lol. ;]
Oh ok just needed to know so maby I could be on it. (Just not as much as DA)
Yup yup. ^_^
I recently got this email. should I be worried and what should I say back? I hope this isnt the art4love thing targeting me.
Hi,
I had a look at your DAportfolio site and would like to get in touch regarding a print on demand cooperation for our second premium art print site ARTFLAKES .com.
We market and produce high quality art prints to customers Europe-wide now for 4 years, always in cooperation with artists and other visual content partners, who get for every reproduction sale a royalty.
In contrast to deviantart, which does also prints as a side activity, we focus 100% on the sales side. Additionally we will
soon not only feature open editions, but also limited editions.
We search for illustrators, photographers, painters, but also visual artwork from other artists.
Could this be interesting for you? Then I would send you some further information.
I am looking forward to hearing from you!
Best from Berlin,
Daniel Brueckner

A couple of people have gotten this email. So far nothing negative about the site has shown up.

Yep, this guy 
is suing them, so give him some support, also check if there are your works that were stolen: [link] .

official statement from da: [link]
Yep, I saw it and added it to my journal.
I is good to read that the support is there from DA. I know I have been very upset indeed when on numerous occasions my artwork has been taken and posted offsite without my knowledge, I know this case is effecting a lot of people and alledged works have been sold for profit, perhaps what will happen next will be a lesson to all who think they can get away with things like this.
I have that linked in my journal.
This "chad lieberman" is no better than anyone who, say, breaks into shops down the street and steals tvs and food
