ripping off da members work YET again!!!

Sat Sep 13, 2008, 1:51 PM
For fecks sake!!!

I've just been notified AGAIN of someone else trying to rip off mine, and other DA members work.

I received an email the other day from someone asking if I could do a business card design for them based on one of my old PFD cards... for £7. I responded that I would be happy to help out, however not for £7.

All work I do I do properly, I declare everything and pay tax, so no I wouldn't be able to do a business card design and get it artworked for essential £4, £2 an hour.

Since then I post has been up on gfxartists with him asking for a card design to be done "99%" the same as this, just with his logo.

This is the second time this shit has happened in a month, and I a now SERIOUSLY considering leaving DA as I'm sick of little *unts like this ripping people off.

INSPIRATION is a good thing, people get inspired by everything around them, by little details in peoples work that spark off IDEAS. That's one of the points in DA for me. INSPIRATION.... not plain straight out ripping the f*ck out of peoples work.

Some people make me sick... good job he's not in the uk or I would seriously f*ck the fella up... I#m getting bored of this bullsh*t.

Another arsehole added to the lovely spamming lists.... more g_ay Midge_t sca_t prrorno on it's way to another fine fellow.

LONG LIVE DA!

that's just plai fucked up...where were they posted?
:iconcrezo:
gfxforums. Hopefully users on there will know better than to do that, but I'm getting seriously sick of this shit.

DA's all about sharing your work, inspiring people, learning and driving you forward. The only thing I seem to be learning nowadays is how to get ripped off. Fuckin sucks man!

spamyourenemies.com always brings a bit of a happy smily revenge though :)

yes these days the Internet is full of un original wanna be artists, and a lot of them think they are "l33t" and really make me sick, they form these groups of "l33t" artists and just make a lot of friends and move around in groups, its sick and disgusting, And its NOT art. Trend is one thing, Trend WHORING is another.

I agree with you 100%, as I get a lot of people wanting things close to nothing, I normally ignore people asking for work unless they offer something from the note, I dont bother if its going to be just, "hey make me a site".

btw iv been watching you for a while :P nice work.
