What are the consequences of internet art theft

01-12-2011, 03:45 AM

There's this guy who keeps stealing everyone's art on an art publishing website.This website is for posting your own art only. We know it's not his art and he even admitted that he posted and sold stolen work. But he's at it again! and I wanted to tell him the consequences of art theft on the internet

This one time I heard about something like that. It was a thing that happened. This one guy was going to say something. I think he did. Maybe not. Either way, I think everybody agrees that sometimes things happen, and sometimes people either do or do not say something about them. Usually, but not always. Right?

To paraphrase someone I have never met, "I honestly don't know anything about art theft online. I've never known a guy who heard about a guy who ever had any experience stealing art online, sorry."

I've never met that guy. His name may or may not have been: Art Thefter--Action Detective!

Is it a public or community art website?

There is an extensive literature researching this, it seems that art theft is the net's third largest sector, after porn and fishing for help with an assignment. Let me just ask, how can there be art theft if we can't say what art even is?

How can this kind of fishing be easier, or less work than actually researching the answer?

footfootfoot · 01-13-2011, 09:22 AM

That kind of question can only come from someone who actually likes to research and write.

This one was interesting from the new mod's POV. Glatt noted that this person was not likely to join the community and what should he do in these cases? I said my approach is to OK them if they aren't spamming and don't have a link. Who knows?

I don't know anything about art theft really.
But I know what I like.
