Hey, everybody!

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who wrote to me to warn me that my art was stolen. I appreciate it.

It's usually done by the same person who has big problems with their head. He keeps creating new accounts and continues to do so. And it happens a lot and not just here. He also does it on other platforms.

But the problem lies not only in the person but in DA itself. Namely its reporting system. After all, the report can be sent only on a specific publication and is considered for the most part only those reports where they were sent by the owner, but not everyone can know that their art was stolen. Besides, judging by the form of filling out the report it says that they also duplicate it to the thief with all your data.... I don't think anyone would want to share their personal details with thieves and scammers. It discourages reporting.

On top of that, it's only one publication, and there may be many on the account. I haven't found any way to make a report on the account as a whole. As if such activity is allowed as long as the other owners don't find out that their art has been stolen and only when enough owners complain will the account probably be banned. But that takes a long time and requires a lot of people's attention. And don't forget that each owner's personal data is probably forwarded to the thief.

It looks as if DA benefits when works are stolen, because most likely these works will have no protection from AI. So they are free to feed the stolen works to neural networks. It all looks very bad. This is one of the reasons why I have long ago lost the desire to publish my work here. I don't know what to do about this situation, because it will continue to go on and on and I'm not sure I have any desire to report any more. Anyway, all this is just the way I see and feel it, because it has accumulated. You may have your own opinion. However, there is clearly a problem. I wish you all the best, don't get sick and hope the thieves don't affect you.
