Article About Internet Crime Uses Luka's Art With The Copyright Info Cropped Off

Aug 05, 2010 18:13

Remember that Oh Noes Pony picture I did like 4 years ago? Yeaaaaahhhhh.

It's kinda funny actually, so I don't think I'll wring anyone's neck just yet. Might be worth emailing to get them to credit me, though.

EDIT: They credited me, so this post is now about how cool it is that Luka has an illustration featured in a proper tech blog.

lol, art theft

I've always found them to be super-nice over at io9. Definitely e-mail them.

I would totally email them. Annalee Newitz was totally nice when I ran into her (she won't remember me though) and also, if they're using your art in that article, there is a chance that they got it from the creepy wallpaper app. The people who made that might have been the ones that really stole it, which if I were you, I'd want to know.

Double irony, you can't reply to the article without signing up or allowing them access to your personal data on Facebook. I'd DMCA them to hell if I were you.
