@Supernatural-art @All-Artists @HighQualityArt @Digital-Art-Club @PsychoArtistUnited Hello :wave: Hope you are all having a great day. It came to my attention some problems about what sites are legal stock providers and which are straight out thieves. I have made a very extensive research to make sure I'm not making a mistake by declining images with not confirmed sources. Please read very carefully, I will not battle about this later. All this applies to my groups. Sketchy sites with no clear sources statements are not even considered. First please read the basics of © Copyrights terms. -Copyright laws are powerful tools that protect art and artists and can prevent the misuse of set artworks. More about Copyrights © -Fan art as love is different than fan art for sale. More about fan art © Google Is not a stock site, is a search engine that shows you images from all the websites online.

@Supernatural-art @All-Artists @HighQualityArt @Digital-Art-Club @PsychoArtistUnited Buen dia! :wave: Espero que todos estén teniendo un gran día. Me llamaron la atención algunos problemas sobre qué sitios son proveedores de stocks/recursos legales y cuáles son directamente ladrones de otros artistas o stockers. Deviantart recibe cada dia nuevos miembros y la gran mayoría no sabe lo que es aceptable, legal o permitido usar en sus artes. Ya llevo mas de 16 años aqui asi que hice una investigación muy extensa para asegurarme de no estar cometiendo un error al rechazar imágenes con fuentes no confirmadas en mis grupos. Por favor, lea con mucho cuidado, no pelearé por esto más adelante. Todo esto se aplica a mis grupos personalmente. Los sitios random sin declaraciones de fuentes claras ni siquiera se consideraran. Primero, lea los conceptos básicos de los términos de © Copyrights. Las leyes de derechos de autor son herramientas poderosas que protegen el arte y los artistas y

My journal against the art and stock thieve just got taken down for been a direct attack to another user. Clearly he has someone in the upper areas of DA to back him up... I don't want my account to be taken down either so beware when fighting this person. He can say shit about others but not the rest of us apparently. I had reported him back in 2021, the staff do anything. All of my proofs are still on the stash luckily https://sta.sh/223elcrhfozc?edit=1 @Prince-of-airbrush has info as well. Just in case no one wants to read my comments below , here is links to photo evidence . Feel free to download and pass it around .

Good morning! A few months ago I started to get a lot of restore passwords emails from DA; like I was trying to reset my pass myself. I changed my pass that day and created a help ticket. After a few weeks DA staff replied with a new way to protect our accounts, I didn't do it that time in fear it would get hacked and I wouldn't have to way to get it back. And today I got another reset email, so I made the choice to use their protection action this time. I've seen these days several accounts hacked, maybe try the new way yourself you keep your account safe. Do please change your passwords again! Go to your Settings, General and choose the Password Reset Emails Turn off password reset emails for 60 days. I highly recommend not showing your birthday date too, another step to prevent hacking :) Hope this helps you too!

- Legal Stock Sites - Photo resources - Non legitimate stocks and how to report them - DA users we do not trust -A UPDATED LIST HERE Stocks I dont recommend I get his questions a lot when I decline a work with a stocker I do not trust. There is however a list of those here and I also have my own as they come along. Hope this can help you too. Help us have a clear path for our imaginations to flow! The tips below doest Not mean ALL those users with similar characteristics are illegal stockers. Its up to You to determine it. Most important issue: Google Is not a stock site, is a search engine that shows you images from all the websites online. This means, You are taking other artists Photography to use as your own. Which is a copyright infringement and illegal. More about Copyrights © Public domain crops of pixabay. You may use the stocks from the stock site, you should not re-share it as a stock is My personal opinion which applies to all my groups. You are taking away the
