a helpful primer for businesses who have been caught selling stolen art
1. TAKE IT DOWN
2. TAKE IT DOWN
3. TAKE IT DOWN
4. TAKE IT DOWN!!!!!!
5. donât try to defend yourself. donât accuse the artist of shit. donât delete comments calling you out. donât block people who arenât afraid to point out what you did. donât act like what you are doing isnât illegal. donât talk shit to the artist. donât delete the artistâs responses. donât accuse the artistâs followers of "bullyingâ for standing up for the truth. donât act like a fucking asshole. TAKE IT DOWN
A PRIMER ON HOW TO REACT TO ART THEFT
hey friends! Â here is a helpful primer on how to react when your artist friends have their art plagiarized for profit.
DO NOT: - suggest that watermarks would solve the problem. Â large watermarks greatly decrease a work's rebloggability, and the internet is a double edged sword - even though reblogs are what inevitably gets our work stolen, we still need our work to be rebloggable in order to get recognition and build a fanbase. Â subtler watermarks and artist signatures are often edited out, and sometimes even straight up left in the image (the BEST BUDS shirt on Dolls Kill recently is a good example - my signature is literally printed on the shirt). Â people who are already stealing art don't give a shit about a watermark.
- say that if we copyrighted things it wouldn't be an issue. Â even assuming that all original works aren't BY LAW immediately and automatically protected by copyright (which they are, at least in the US), having a registered copyright will do literally fuck all to keep companies from stealing artwork if they feel like it. Â "whatever forever" has a registered copyright and is also the illustration stolen from me most often.
- say "imitation is the greatest form of flattery." Â getting paid for your artwork is the greatest form of flattery. Â having your artwork stolen is hugely disrespectful and really sucks.
- trot out that tired Picasso quote about how good artists borrow and great artists steal. Â this is NOT what that refers to, and if you think Picasso would have been OK with people directly copying his paintings and profiting off them without his permission, you don't know enough about Picasso to be quoting him anyway. Â (also itâs highly probably that Picasso didn't even say that, but thatâs a rant for another day.)
- unless you are a lawyer or personally know a lawyer willing to work on contingency or at drastically reduced rates, please do not suggest we sue, no matter how helpful you may think you are being. Â speaking as someone who currently has a lawyer on a variety of these cases - it's not easy or cheap. Â just sending C&Ds can cost hundreds of dollars. Â if a case goes to litigation it can can cost thousands. Â the vast majority of lawyers are not willing to work on contingency for the small payout these types of cases typically get. Â most artists just can't afford to litigate over theft by larger companies, regardless of how cut-and-dried the case might look.
- basically just donât imply that it is the artist's fault their work has been stolen. Â
now, here are the things you can DO: - retweet, reblog, and repost your friend's social media posts about their art being stolen. Â because of the reasons outlined above, this is often the only real recourse we have, and it is often successful at least in having the products pulled. Â every single post helps.
- refuse to patronize businesses and brands that steal art, no matter how cool or inexpensive their other products might be. Â spread the word to your friends about the businesses and brands that steal art.
- if you see shit, call it out. Â if you see your friend's art being used anywhere and you are not 100% sure they authorized it, let them know. Â some people don't even realize they're supporting stolen art. Â let people know.
- don't "forgive" brands that have done your friend wrong after time has passed. Â you might think we won't notice your new shirt from that store that stole our artwork two years ago, but we do! Â
- buy from small businesses and independent artists whenever you can! Â SUPPORT YOUR ARTIST FRIENDS & ALL INDEPENDENT ARTISTS!
my new enamel pins will be available only at HTTP://SHOP.SARAMLYONS.COM starting thurs 5/21 at 9:00 am PST / noon EST!
