Why you should not sell your artwork on Design by Humans #stopimagetheft

Why you should not sell your artwork on Design by Humans #stopimagetheft

About three years ago I thought it would be wise to open an account and store on Design by Humans to sell my artwork and photos to a broader customer base. And now I must admit it was a mistake. DBH does NOT add watermarks to your works and makes it very easy for copycats to download your images in full resolution!

Q4 has launched – please keep fighting against Image Theft! #stopimagetheft

Q4 (4th quarter of the year) is here, usually the biggest sales will hit us in the print on demand industry so please do not give up reporting copyright infringements on Amazon Marketplace and other websites!
