Are you an artist who has had their original fan art or
photographs STOLEN?
QISHARE is a website that rewards fans for posting what is supposed to
be original artwork related to their favourite bands. Users receive
points for uploading art, wallpapers, photography, etc. When these are
viewed or downloaded, the user gets points which they can redeem for
band merchandise. Sounds great doesn't it?
THE CATCH!!
By registering for the site, you agree to relinquish your rights to
your own art!
Because of the fine print that you agree to when signing up, QISHARE
can use your artwork however they'd like (even to sell!).
As an artist, it is your decision to distribute or promote your work
in any way you see fit.
So you decide to post your photography and your artwork on the
internet (on your personal website, band message boards, or fansites)
for other fans to enjoy.
Now, by being generous to the fan community, many artists have had
their work STOLEN, and posted by others on the QISHARE website. Not
only has this been done without the artist’s permission, but the
thieves are presenting the artwork as their own! By posting these
images that are not their own they have essentially granted license to
property they do not own to QISHARE to use however they want. The
artist has now lost their own work! Not to mention the unauthorized
posters getting themselves involved in fraud and copyright
infringements.
Due to this, several artists have already pulled their work off the
internet... off their own websites to prevent further abuse of their
work.
QISHARE is killing the fan-art community.
Several attempts have been made by artists through reporting stolen
artwork to QISHARE, requesting that it be removed. Little action has
been taken in response by QISHARE and only a few of the more blatant
stolen works have been removed. Few users have been banned. Little to
no response from QISHARE has been received.
Now you can help us DO SOMETHING!
