Hey Everybody!

It's not very often I'm here on DA. The reasons are many. Most thing is lacking of inspiration to be here, sadness...and one of the reasons is getting ripped off!

Someone has stolen a photo that's mine and publiced on Photobucket without my permission!!! AGAIN! This is NOT the first time someone steal my photos!

I have contacted the Admins to remove the photo, BUT it's not that easy as they wrote me a long email what to do to prove this photo is MINE, where I have it published. I DO HAVE TO PROOVE IT'S MINE!!?? Do I always have to be alert, watch out for rippers, search for stolen photos that are mine...??? Always? And then contact people and admins everywhere? That takes a lot of time, folks!

I've found out that we can't use DA's watermark AFTER the work is already submitted, IF we need to watermark through DA we need to re-submit the whole gallery and loses the comments, the tips and favorites that are already made. Such a shame!

Do I need to close my whole gallery here so I won't get ripped off? Who's gonna comment my work, give tips and help me developing in photography then?

Take care all!

PS! Okay, I know some of you might think it's good to get ripped off as people like my photos that much, but when people steal and publish without my permission, I get very sad! All my photos are mine, and MINE only! Taking my photos without my permission is STEALING! Stealing is WRONG!
