LOL... just as I was posting...

Baz, do you want them posted here or in a PM?

As highly as I regard Demonology, I had happily forgotten about that site. The first 4 pages of new uploads feature 4 designs from me. :lol2:

Some things don't change. :arms:

My unsolicited advice is this:
Whatever happens to your covers beyond this site has no negative effect on how much the users here love your work, appreciate the effort you put it, and look forward to what you do next. Adding your name, logo, or web site to your cover might provide some comfort, as the people grabbing are usually either too lazy or too respectful to remove something embedded within the design itself. The same is true, to a lesser extent, for the cutout border I sometimes add to mine.

I've wanted to and threatened to "leave" due to instances like these many times over the years.

And I've taken plenty of breaks in between, both due to being busy and due to losing interest, so I'd empathize with whatever decision you make and wouldn't blame you if you allowed yourself a little harsh language toward the uploaders.

It can be a fickle hobby.

We always do our best to source these people out, but it is not a straight forward process. I will be looking into this, and updating you all with any information I can find. If anyone feels like being helpful, they could give the name of any known stolen covers, along with the date (and time if available) they were uploaded, and any uploaders names, as well as the original creators name.

To be honest it looks like an awful lot of covers..that could be a big job..most of the recent ones have no artist/uploader names.

I think RRJR got most of my others (thanks, buddy!), but here's a link to my Jenn's Body cover: http://www.r1db.com/covers/custom-dvd-cove...ody-dvd-cu.html

I normally don't like to be the tattle-tale of stolen covers, but I'm glad I spoke up, look's like this is a big problem over there...

(Too bad I don't get this much attention in my WIP's

I actually just realized that all the covers might not be coming from here...
if there are members here who are also uploaders at Fuzion, then they could have come from there...

I know this because there is a cover there that was done by an artist that is only a member at Fuzion by the name of hulmingbird.

Hey, if you see it the other way around. Someone digg's your stuff enough that they are willing to steal it...
I havn't gotten any covers stolen, which somehow amuses me :P
Anyways, go get em' Bazz!

Baz and I will do what we can to uncover this, try to find members who download from here then upload somewhere else, and ban them. It's never easy, it's a lot of work, and often we don't end up with definitive results. Baz will take the lead (as he has done in the past) and get me involved as he needs me to.

It could be a combination of both. Some are definitely from here because my stuff SHOULD only be here, I don't post elsewhere. Unless someone's been posting my stuff at Fuzion as well.

I still sorting through things over there most of the recent blu-ray covers or labels are from here, seems some one went on an upload frenzy in the beginning of November
