An important note to literally everyone that posts their artwork to Tumblr

There is a site called Gramunion that takes every single image posted to every single blog on this website and reposts it to its website, removing the original context of the images, including artist’s notes, requests to not repost artwork, and so on. The website does this as a way of “helping” you “Browse Any Tumblr Blog In a Structured Way!” (to quote their website). 

We can all agree that this is garbage, right?

As a result of this website’s existence, I’m seeing more artwork posted to Pinterest and other websites, using Gramunion as the source.

I’d like to see if something can be done. Because no matter how many DMCA takedown notices I send to Pinterest, there will always be idiots who get my artwork again and again from Gramunion. I don’t want that, I’m pretty sure no-one else wants that for their artwork, so what can we do?

I think using this guide here we can send DMCA takedown notices to the website to get our art taken down. Here’s what the website says:

Let’s assume “Phil” sees his 1,500-word blog post republished on a forum. His first step would be to issue a DMCA takedown notice to the DMCA agent of the forum letting them know of the infringement. If the forum does not take down the content, Phil would look up the hosting service for the site using a “Who Is” domain search, and serve a takedown notice on that company as well. Finally, Phil would serve notices on Google, Yahoo, and Bing. If all parties comply with the notice, the offending page would be removed by the host and delisted in the search engines.

The website also provides an easy-to-use template for sending a takedown notice. Seriously, it’ll take you about two minutes to fill out, if that.

I sent a DMCA takedown to Gramunion itself first. I tried looking up the “Who Is” stuff for the site, and it led to a site called “Name.com,” which would be the next stop if Gramunion refuses to respond to my request. (I sent Gramunion an email already last week, and they refused to respond.) I’ll keep you posted on how this goes.

If you’re serious about keeping people from stealing your artwork, then I highly recommend you join me in sending takedown notices to this website. Maybe we can eventually get it shut down.

Accdg. to https://www.hostingchecker.com/#gramunion.com, the hosting service of Gramunion is actually Cloudflare. Try to send your DMCA takedown notices in https://www.cloudflare.com/abuse/form

So I checked Gramunion and it’s kind of uncomfortable. First of all, they have no permission whatsoever to repost Tumblr content. I searched if Gramunion is associated with Tumblr, there is none. Gramunion is only powered by Tumblr or in layman’s terms, they’re using a Tumblr theme.

Whatever the text is below the image (for example, link to the artist’s official website, support patreon, etc.) is cut out, allowing their art to be spread in other websites without actual credit to the artist.  

Check if your art is in there and report if you must. Warn your favorite artists too if they don’t like their works reposted (unless they sign/watermark their works, but even that can be cropped out).

I already reported it in Tumblr (which you can do too, https://www.tumblr.com/support). But it would be nice to give them a heads up that one of the blogs using their themes are screwing with Tumblr artists and calling it “helping”.

Take this atrocity down, one report/reblog at a time.

This isn’t just art guys, it’s literally ANY photo you’ve put on tumblr is reposted there content free. Stop these guys

Ravenclaws love taking in new information and that doesn’t always mean reading. Sometimes they like listening to other people’s opinions and thoughts. Other times they want to try something new, and learn in a hands on way. Sometimes it’s just them finding joy in observing the world around them.

You know something? Cats just get it… they intrinsically know that if you get overwhelmed you should just pass out in a sunbeam in the middle of the floor because that’s how it be sometimes

[fanonical]

“Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them” buddy I already know where to find them; apparently it is literally anywhere on Hogwarts grounds because so far I’ve seen a three-headed dog, a basilisk, a bunch of acromantulas, four dragons - five if you count Norbert! - a giant squid, hundreds of dementors, a herd of thestrals, and worst of all, Dolores fucking Umbridge

Donna Noble was a female character who:

-was in her early forties but didn’t have her life all together yet

-didn’t have a perfect Hollywood figure but nobody made a joke about her weight (to my knowledge)

-super funny and empathetic

-doubted her capabilities at first but learned to trust herself

-wanted to go on crazy space adventures but simultaneously wanted to get married and have a family and she was never derided for wanting both

-had a rich platonic relationship with the Doctor

-Appreciate Donna Noble

[zorilleerrant]

Not to mention had low-prestige job skills that came in handy for her amazing space adventures more than once!

Knowing it’s real means you gotta make a decision… One, keep denying it. Or two; do something about it.

This is a recommendation. We still can stop this with pressure on Congress.

ISPs don’t own the internet. They should not be given power to censor or influence content.

The internet is a utility. We change creativity and innovation when we put corporations and conservatives in charge.
