THANKS TO FORCE ME TO  PUT ON MY PHOTOS INVASIVE SIGNATURES. RUINING MY WORKS AND RUINING THE VIEW OF THE PEOPLE THAT FOLLOW ME.

There are people who in addition to publishing the photos (for example photos of the cosplayers) on other websites without asking the consent of the author, put their logo on the signature of the original author, hiding it (-_-).

Imagine that you have done a painting with your signature: You publish it on your personal page (for example, DA), someone sees it, download it and ... put his signature on YOUR painting.. for publish it on his website. Would not like, right?




I found my photo of my cosplay of Lara Croft on this site, www.gamersky.com, with their logo that hides my signature:


www.gamersky.com/news/201211/2…

Direct image:
img1.gamersky.com/image2012/11…

But is one of many sites.
I am very disappointed by the lack of respect that people on the internet shows towards the artists.
because it would be enough ask. If people ask, I might say "I'm sorry, but if you cover my signature with your logo, I can not give to you my consent for the publication." Instead, now I do not even know how to remove my photo from this site. because it is all written in japanese (or chinese?) .... and do not understand anything.

If the site in question will read, ask him to SHARE my original photo from deviantart, no download, publish and cover my signature.

With this post I just want to invite all the sites concerned to publish the photos of others (cosplay, art, and all images):

- ask the authors' consent for the publication of the image

-Avoid covering the author's signature with your logo (especially if you don't asked the permission of the author!)

-If you're too lazy to search the author, do not  upload the photos on your sites. SHARE the links original, rather! Mentioning the name of the original author or his site.

to ask my permission<span class="">, email me here:</span> daelyth(at)hotmail.it

or send me a private note!

I'm sorry for the polemic (and sorry if my english is bad), but I hope that people understand, once and for all, that this behavior is not good for the original authors.
Thanks for yout attention!

if you are using Google Chrome as your browser, you will have the option to translate the copy in the website. It only works on actual text and not images of text, so it doesnt translate EVERYTHING. The copy that was above your picture didnt make a whole lot of sense when translated to English...not sure how it will fare in Italian.
