When Artwork is used without permission.

That's [livejournal.com profile] mech_angel's picture.

Who knows enough Freench to write a Cease-And-Desist?

It looks like it's just a blog to me....I clicked on the link to go back to whomevers page it was and it seems that they post artwork from various people every time they post, sometimes with updates on life, sometimes without. Sometimes the say who the work is by, sometimes not. I don't think they're trying to take credit for it or anything, but my French isn't that great.

So, in my mind, it'd be like if I posted a pic I liked from someones' DA to my lj just because I liked it. But I can understand why it bugs you.

Really, I just think a Courtesy Nod ("I got this from thus-and-such place") is always appropriate.

I agree and like I said, it appears that when she has a source she puts it. But you know how it is, sometimes you save shit to your hard drive, stumble upon it 2 years later and have no idea where it came from but still think it's cool. Just my .02

my French is shakey but using BabelFish as a vocabulary helper I get:

volonté vous donnez-l'identification elle [mech_angel], s'il vous plait pour l'oeuvre d'art(will you give recognition to [mecgh_angel] for the work of art please)

then, for an actual cease letter:

ceci n'appartient pas à vous. Enlevez l'oeuvre d'art, s'il vous plait.

(this does not belong to you. Please remove the work of art.)

Danke. Also, as I said above, at the very least, if you're not going to ask permission, at least give Recognition, you know?

Thank you, and that was actually a thought I had, after I posted this. :)

err, should read "...l'identification AU [mech_angel]..."

Ah, thank you for the clarification :)

dammit

but either way, I'm sure it will be understood

It is a very nice pix...it's a shame folks can't give credit where credit is due...

True enough.

By the way, how did you happen across this little corner of the Internet?

I stumbled across it, really. I think maybe someone I know lists you as a friend? I won't swear to anything. I used to live in Georgia, though...

Wait, I remember now. Sort of, anyway. You had the post about women...and I think I responded to something you and some other guy said. But I am not entirely sure how I came across that post, (I have only been doing this for a few weeks--I got bored at work one day, and stumbled upon Live Journal, and now I am addicted) but I kept reading after I saw it...I like your writing--you think abstractly, sort of like I do...

Fair enough. Well. Welcome aboard.

I'm uncertain whether I want to pursue this. She's not making money off of it. Not like the last time, when someone was using one of my pictures to sell shit on EBay.

That's true. Either way, you could just ask her to make a note of it being yours.
