Today I have had the misfortune of having to ban another member, due to uploading artwork from here, to other cover sites, and passing the art work off as their own. I have just removed, and banned an account for sleslie, who has turned out to be garfieldodiefan1. garfieldodiefan1 also goes under several alias' beginning with, or including garfield, harrypotter, sassyfrassy, jronald, johnronald and sleslie. We also have a range of IP addresses used. All this information has been gathered from the cooperation of several cover sites, and we shall continue to work together to protect the artists. If any web site owners would like a list of known ip addresses, please send me a PM.

We will not tolerate 'cover theft' in any way whatsoever at HiResCovers.

Beware..............the ides of March have fallen amongst us. et tu brutu!

Villains, You did not so, when your vile daggers..........
Hack'd one another in the sides of Caesar:
You show'd your teeth like apes, and fawn'd like hounds,
And bow'd like bondmen, kissing Caesar's feet;
Whilst damned Casca, like a cur, behind.........Struck Caesar on the neck. O you flatterers!

or....

Once you walked in human form amongst us and offered us the hand of kindness........but, the end was inevitable as you delivered the final trecherous blow, severing our blood line to a better world...

Good riddance!

Glad to be a part of a cover site that respects the artists and stands behind them!

I noticed sleslie has downloaded several of my covers. Can you name the sites has she been uploading them to and/or is the problem already being dealt with at those other sites? (Or is this another situation like 9covers where we'll get banned for speaking up?)

You know, I'm taking a deep breath and telling myself not to get upset about this because I can't stop every instance of cover theft. Counting to ten... breathing in... there, I'm over it. See... I'm growing as a person... :D :D :D
