We welcome any help we can get and do NOT consider it bullying to alert violators of their crimes. And YES -- it absolutely is a crafters' fight if they are a crafter upset because they have spent their own hard-earned money on stamps legally -- and now see those stamps being passed around freely by thoughtless (at best) Pinners.<br /><br />Intellectual copyright theft is a crime as much as any theft is. Unfortunately, (though the US copyright office is working on a way for us to file small claims lawsuits more easily) right now we can't call the police like a shop-owner who finds someone stealing lipsticks can . . . we need all the help we can get. So you can consider this a virtual mug shot -- with proof of crime, and our intent to deter others. If someone doesn't want their name in the papers, they should keep their noses clean.<br /><br />Finally, as you are someone who is a crafter not a stamp company -- and I AM a business owner/illustrator -- I'm telling you that your statement that "pinning has not slowed down sales at all" is completely inaccurate. Companies are going out of business because of this illegal sharing.<br /><br />This is not JUST Pinterest problem -- but Pinterest is easily the most visible to all. That people will blatantly disregard copyright law and publish a public board containing stolen images is incredibly disrespectful, selfish and greedy -- (never mind the legalities.)<br /><br />It would be smart if people could start policing themselves with regards to copyright theft before they get "outed" publicly.Mo Manninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14282458244833366952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996939283255428402.post-83072792976535733682013-08-03T11:16:27.306-07:002013-08-03T11:16:27.306-07:00Ladies, this isn't your fight.

It's up to the individual artist to have images removed that weren't pinned with their permission or were pinned without their watermark. <br />I go to stamp shows all the time and believe me, the pinning on pinterest hasn't slowed the sales down at all. People are still buying. I have read your remarks on individual boards and you have become very aggressive and behave like bully's. <br />Is copy right infringement a big problem, yes it is. But unless its your copy right, it's not up to you to belittle or bully others.

Here is a link to the DMCA form that is required to be filled out by the copyright holder.<br /><br /> http://pinterest.com/about/copyright/dmca/ <br /><br />It is a LEGAL document. Do not fill out this doc unless you are really the copyright holder for the pin you wish to have removed.<br />It is a glitchy form that will cause you to pull your hair out if you have to fill it out often. When you click the boxes to grant 'strikes', it erases the checkmarks. Don't be discouraged. Keep at it.Leslie Haweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933649274394414938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996939283255428402.post-32074757809455771132013-07-15T11:33:15.633-07:002013-07-15T11:33:15.633-07:00I have stopped reporting images to Pinterest. they...I have stopped reporting images to Pinterest. they really don't seem to care if the art is in copyright violation or not. one particular image I have reported 3 different times as well as had conversations with the pinner in the comment section (which is how I know it is still there) and Pinterest refuses to remove the image. it is one that has had the watermark removed illegally. of course the pinner seemed remorseful, but she never took it down and several days later was doing it again with images from same artist. :/ so very frustrating.

I contacted the craft website by email explaining the situation & asked them to look on here & the FB page for further info. I have checked Tania's board today & it looks like she's added even more since I left a message yesterday evening & these new images are from another craft website that again isn't watermarking their images. It's gonna be a never ending cycle unless we can somehow get this importance of watermarks across to the Artists/Designers in the first instance then at least the companies that sell these designs have watermarked images to show. It feels as if we are banging our head on a brick wall ��. Ultimately I would imagine that it's down to them to ensure their designs are covered from copyright theft but at the same time the companies selling these designs must surely realise that these images they show can easily be 'copied', 'pinned' etc so they have to take a responsibility in this as well. <br />I was wondering if there is a way that we can use the Stamp Out logo to add to people's Pinterest boards etc who are sharing designs illegally?? That way maybe it's gonna be more visual to others as well & may help to inform the person that could potentially think about repinning the image to change their mind??? Just an idea...if we could have a link to the full information on copyright laws etc then we could add the logo with a link that when clicked on by somebody would take thm to this information,??? I'm just trying to think of more 'shock tactics' that we could use but also so it's informing them & others about the impact of this. <br /><br />I def think tho that somehow we need to keep informing the Craft Websites etc to do their bit & ultimately the Artist/Designer & get them to ensure images are all watermarked at the start. Looks like its gonna be a long road ahead but with us all together I def think we can do something to at least put a dent in this & even re-educate people about copyright laws. <br /><br />Hugs<br />Natalie<br />X o x<br />Btw, thank you Michelle for your message xTigger78https://www.blogger.com/profile/10379416557885652111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996939283255428402.post-14283657316156206522013-07-03T22:01:18.470-07:002013-07-03T22:01:18.470-07:00Here is another from Pinterest with many different...Here is another from Pinterest with many different images:http://pinterest.com/kardiana/digi-stamps/Ann Marie Governalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03976911116598746473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996939283255428402.post-31102909273727805412013-07-03T20:20:25.369-07:002013-07-03T20:20:25.369-07:00She has a ton of images.

I am hoping if they see so many people are aware of it being a copyright violation they will worry and move faster, and in the mean time I think the comments work well for the crafters. Those who don't know will learn something new and those who know what they are doing is wrong might possibly feel a little shame and remove the stuff.
