Stolen art sold at conventions

Journal Entry: Tue Jan 15, 2013, 12:03 PM








Hey guys! I had a great time at SacAnime but while I was there, I saw a vendor's booth called Hidden Supplies selling *sakimichan's Kakashi painting




I asked her if she gave permission for this or not, and sure enough, she didn't. I think it's safe to say that the rest of the $25 mats sold at the booth were also using stolen art, but I don't recognize any of the artists. Here are some photos of the booth and all the mats are also listed on their website [link]. Please take a look and report the images you recognize to the respective artists so that they may take the proper legal actions against these these people. Thank you! :hug:

Permission should have been asked. This is just wrong and it's a breach of copyright.

No matter where the art came from, the original artist must still receive credit for that work and receive a profit from it. Also, God, people, ask for permission first!

Business is just corrupt like that.
