Deviation Actions

Hey, ever heard of ponywallpapers.com?  Apparently they allow their users to submit others' content (signatures removed, edits made) as their own, and they find this acceptable because 'Hey, it's not like they're the ones doing it.'  I recently discovered this: www.ponywallpapers.com/princes… (an edit of fav.me/d3g2wku)

They have all kinds of links for submitting copyright complaints and well gosh, would you believe it: none of 'em work!

So, I'm thinking of perhaps making a weekend project of letting other artists know that their work is being taken without citation.  Spread the word if you're keen on doing so.

Yeah, this is pretty annoying, I see that not only are a few of my images being used on their site, but my signatures were shopped out as well.

If they don't want to provide a working DMCA form though, you can always contact their domain registrar (who appears to be GoDaddy) and file a report with them.
