So I was away from my computer for a bit, when this girl joined. I clicked her profile, and I knew immediately that her DP was stolen.
Stolen:
Origina for Myn @ IMVUl:
Also from the creator’s deviantART:
"AMR" - Information

As you can see, the mesh ripper amr has been disabled thanks to the efforts of everyone on here. He is suspected to have an alt called kolash1, so please keep your eye out for anything suspicious in that devs catalog.

So I was informed that someone was using my DP made by Gasp without my permission:

Note: The only accounts that are allowed to use this image are as follows:

If you see anyone else that is using a DP originally designed for any of these accounts, that is not one of them, it is NOT me
Thank you.

So I’ve had her on my friends list for awhile now. I noticed she had this picture by Emily Thomas. Also she had another one up awhile ago, looked like a piece from deviantart couldn’t found it though, she also invited me asking if I needed a display picture from her, Really don’t trust her

This person posted in my badge group’s donation thread looking for donations for a set of “rainbow pup” badges. The images are stolen from another badge maker by the name of Mkukni.

These badges actually belong to Mkukni, who was accepting donations from them months before this newer user even joined IMVU.

Boxy@IMVU is a thief!
I added this girl a while back, and I would notice her DPs every now and then. So finally I googled the images, and I’ve found two DP’s. One per day.
The first is the stolen one, then the other is the original.
Then there is these:
You can see where she removed the name as well.
Unfortunately she changed the image by now, but here’s a screenshot of her using the second...

My friend came across this. Not only do they sell IMVU accounts, which is against ToS, but they also sell a program that will rip textures from products.

I was browsing through the people section of IMVU and came across the user Ozo. It appears she’s stolen a DP of Gasps which was made for Snot.

"Couperet" /Posting as an Information
http://couperet.deviantart.com/
So recently this person on dA made their account and named it after my Tumblr user name, I’m assuming. I have NO connection whatsoEVER to this person. But, the name kinda irritated me, they said their name was like this, also on Gaia. So I looked, and as you can see in the link, they stole one of GASP’s work.

Anonymous asked: Is it considered stealing to save stuff to your computer, with no intention other than to look at it now and then and admire it? Should I be messaging these people and asking? T__T I dont wanna be a theif

Anonymous asked: When creating an IMVU product, is it okay to take an image (somebodies Original character) from, lets say Deviant art or Google WITHOUT permission and not giving credit?

I was so heart broken to see one of my favourite pieces being used by someone else. Not only that, but when I confronted her about it, she blocked me and refused to take down my art as her room pic as she claimed she found the piece on Google and Google made things Free for everyone to use, that if I had a problem, take it up with them. Her friend then joined the party and put my...

Anonymous asked: For the last guy saying this blog is "harassment/slander." Imagine paying $25 dollars for a piece of art. You don't make that much money, so 25 is a LOT. Or you work for DAYS on a piece and feel super proud of it. A few weeks after you receive/make your piece, you find some new user using/trying to sell your image without permission. Do you know how much that SUCKS? Apparently...
Anonymous asked: You do realize that what you are doing is slander,cyber stalking and cyber bullying right?And just to point out you can get in trouble for cyber bullying. "Cyber-harassment usually pertains to threatening or constantly sending harassing email messages, instant messages, or to blog entries or websites dedicated solely to tormenting an individual".

This is Pantie @ IMVU
I finally came into contact with AmDisDragoon and she apologized for stealing, she didn’t know it was wrong.
So she apologized and took down the stolen DP ( Yayy! )

Anonymous asked: if someone uses a dp with a pic out of fb and didnt know was commissioned or anything like that why r they called thieves i mean yeah there was a mistake done but that not necessarily means they r thieves especially if they took the art down cuz they didnt know it was why do they still have to b pointed as thieves
I didnt know...
i got my image from OG13SBOO… i thought she had gotten like cartoon images from google and just added our names. after i saw this, i talked to her… and here is the chat… i didnt know she had taken somebody elses work.

Pinup Bombshell
These group of girls, all friends, took pictures from a site that does characters and commisions. A few of these are commisioned pieces, which cost the buyer 200$+ Canadian so … not cheap.
The site they come from is http://www.pinupbombshells.com/gallery.html

Anonymous asked: Did you cover OFWGgraphics yet? They're page is full of DP's that are for sale but suspicious.
Anonymous asked: Hi, isn't it NOT art theft if they just use it for their own use, as in just using as their DP? Like, I understand it being theft when they take one that was meant for someone, and they put their own name on it, but when they just use a picture, and don't claim it in any way as their own, it's not theft.. right?

He’s really getting on my nerves. This is not the first took he has taken the same display picture made for me. I have confronted this person today, by inviting him to chat. He pretended he couldn’t understand any English, yet look how proper his tagline is. After I spoke to him in Spanish he “finally” understood...

[AMR] Stolen Textures?
I was recently browsing the shop and saw a product by the developer AMR. It looked suspiciously familiar so I started browsing his shop. There were several items that also looked familiar. I have not known any of these developers to give out their textures or sell textures. I believe these products to be stolen. If anyone knows otherwise, feel free to correct me.

Anonymous asked: How did Vixxen steal if on her product page for the dress it says "Derived from a quality Sinfully file." or was this overlooked? Cause It looks like it was a file sale thing, not a theft.
Anonymous asked: Just putting this out there about Vixxen, she sometimes uses file sales, so she could of bought that item from another developer in a file sales shop. Just saying, since the case hasn't been resolved or confirmed as theft yet.

This is about the edit I did, that I used Boi’s tutorial. Since I cannot get on gasr to retrieve the message I had sent him about the base sketch. I will just clarify. I messaged him asking about the base sketch, if I could use it or not. He replied saying yes, that is what its there for. So, the base sketched which was included in the tutorial is for using.
