Hello and welcome to the No More Art Theft Club/Group thing. I started this club because I've noticed that all around Deviantart there is art theft being reported and some art that shouldn't be reported that is being reported
I

have started this club to help stop Art theft here on DA.
NOTE: If you are a member, Keep an Eye out for Journals about new Art thieves
NOTE2: If an Artist's work has been stolen I will notify them, via commenting on their page or the artwork which was stolen
I'd like to thank

for making the avatar

___________
Here's how to join
1. You can't have stolen any art whatsoever at anytime. (If you got reported for a sprite or sprite sheet then it doesn't count, you can join the club) If you have stolen art then you cannot join
2. Send a note saying that you wish to join.
3. Watch the club and the club will watch you
4. You must take a pledge that you never steal art, and if you are caught stealing art on DA or anywhere else you will immediately be kicked out of the club.
5. You must say that you are part of the club, in your journal or in your sig, whichever works for you
__________________
Rules.
1. You can not steal art
EVER2. You can submit Art promoting anti-art theft, just send a note to

with a link to the picture. Also it has to be downloadable
3. Report ANY Art theft you find.
4. Be respectful to other members
5. Be proud of promoting No More Art theft
6. If any Member is found out/proven to be an art thief, they will be permanently banned and blocked from the club, even if they create a new account. No questions asked, no second chances. It would defeat the purpose of the club to have an art thief in it, now wouldn't it? TwT

How to Spot Art Theft/ what is not art theft/ about art theft
1. If someone has posted a picture someone else has made saying it's theirs then they're stealing art
2. If someone has traced over with paper/edited someone else's artwork saying that it's theirs then they're stealing art
3. If someone has posted edit sprites, Sprite Comics, or Sprite Sheets and have given full credit then that is not art theft
4. Art theft is basicly Plagiarism. Which is claming someone else's work as one's own. If you ever spot art theft you should report it.
5. If you find art theft, you should report it
silently. If you tell the person that you are reporting the theft then they might try to harass you (I should know -.-; I got harassed all the time)

どうもはじめまして、輝さま。
これは、許可を出した覚えがありませんね。
はじめまして。輝と申します。
突然のメール、失礼いたします。
私のロシアの友人からnikuball様の絵がロシアの雑誌で使われているので連絡し
て欲しいと言われました。Hosino Hikaru と名乗る者のようです。
これに対して彼若しくは彼女に許可を出したかどうか知りたいと存じます。お忙
しいとは存じますがご回答のほど宜しくお願いいたします。

Nikuball said 'I do not permit to that person anything'
Of course, user has already deleted the stolen painting, but the fact remains. the name has been mentioned by the aggrieved party. We would like to see that the user
remove the gallery as this case suggests that the remaining works were stolen from the Japanese sites.

This kid was busted last year for tracing Naruto, Bleach and Soul Eater screenshots. Apparently he hasn't learned his lesson, because he's uploaded a new round of traced "art". Plus, some of his old tracings are still up, even though they were reported multiple times by fellow thief-hunters. And there are several images that I haven't yet found original sources for.
