Someone's stealing my work...
Added 2024-01-17 12:42:43 +0000 UTCAnd the work of other artists in the crossdressing community and making money on Patreon.
They make these videos of questionable quality and post them on YouTube. Here's one that uses one of my works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OvS4stN1Iw
Here is the original piece: COMMISSION - You're One of Us Now
What makes me even more angry is the fact that they are not only stealing works from well-known artists in the community, but they are also profiting from their theft on Patreon.
I don't know what I can do to stop them. They don't post the files directly on Patreon, so I can't ask Patreon to take them down.
It's the sort of thing that makes me lose hope sometimes.

That would ruin the art for those of us that pay for it. It also wouldn't stop that person. PH has their logo/brand on all their pictures, and it is front and center on the art in that video, and they clearly don't care.

2024-01-17 22:00:31 +0000 UTCI reported them on YouTube. I'll try to do the same on Patreon later on. Thank you!

2024-01-17 17:45:59 +0000 UTCMy advice would be to report it using the (ugh...) automated system on YouTube. Your work is your intellectual property and a diligent image search should show a deviantart link or something. As far as the other work, i recognise some of the artwork, but only one artist comes to mind (Sleepymaid). The linked video above doesn't change your work in any meaningful way, so the copyright strike should stick. I'm unsure of the complete process that YT goes through, but if you receive a written confirmation from them you should be able to use it as leverage with Patreon. I was going to make a comment about the general level of effort indicated by their uploads, but anything that I have to say would only be insults.

2024-01-17 13:42:43 +0000 UTCI'd also watermark your work, can be a a bit distracting but leaves no doubt who made it.
