The Stealing Continues... (but it's not all doom and gloom)
Added 2018-03-29 07:00:56 +0000 UTCSo, the same person who downloaded my content originally and then uploaded it to reddit has done it again. *round of applause for such a noble act*
However, this time finding them was a lot easier (courtesy of two lovely people) and they have been blocked from TeacupAudio for good. (Side note: I had a look through their reddit page and I found an interesting paragraph where they stated something along the lines of: 'Don't send me hate through private messages. Only message me if you want to thank me for putting up these links - I don't want to be harassed.'
I'm sorry, sir or madame, is there a line we shouldn't cross?????
Regardless, I didn't send them hate. I just reported and blocked them.
Anyway, what I'm actually taking from this whole annoying experience is that I am so grateful for my kind patrons who are, thankful, the vast majority.
I cannot accurately express how grateful I am to all of you wonderful people who actually respect each other and myself. As pointed out before, this person not only stole my content, but they also disrespected the people who are lawfully and rightfully paying for the product.
I just wanted to share this with you guys because I honestly don't know what I'd do without you. Thank you for your pledge, your faith and your respect.
Best wishes,
Teacup

I am usually pro-piracy of media but when it is someone like you (a small creator that isn’t part of some big corporation or something) or an indie developer for games I find it despicable.

2018-08-06 03:55:52 +0000 UTCIt's an aspect of the internet at large that chafes my gears. People want content, but they don't want to pay for it or support the creator in anyway. And there's people with ambiguous enough morals to provide and call it just. Especially on Reddit, one of the reasons I don't like Reddit in particular.

2018-03-29 07:09:45 +0000 UTCWow the depths of crap that people will go to. This is someone's livelihood we are talking about... they shouldn't just be reported and blocked but tar and feathered. Talking full on blacklist status from any site where they can do this to someone else...
