Heads-up

[snowgrouse]

Just thought you guys might want to know that there's a Russian YouTuber who seems to be posting other people's fanworks as her own. I just discovered she'd made a crude slideshow from several of my manips and had never asked for permission to use any of them. (Or then she may have asked me in the mists of time and ignored a firm "no"). I only just noticed her stuff so I'm not sure how many people's works she's ripped off (I see she's also stolen some of 45eugenia's images), but you might want to go and check out she hasn't nicked yours or your friends'. Since I don't speak Russian, I have no idea what her posts are saying. However, it looks like she might understand enough English to get a simple message of "um, this is not on", and I've just gone and given her one. You might want to do the same (as well as just flag the video as inappropriate, since hello, NC-17 material). Whether that'll actually sink in, I don't know. I also don't know what her LJ handle is (it's not "yezida" because that belongs to a completely different person), but she is probably lurking around here somewhere.

Spread the word.

ETA: I see the video has now been removed. The user's account hasn't, so you might want to keep an eye on her just in case.
