well frell me

I guess this gives me some kind of status or something. Can I not accept the honour?

I've been plagiarised. My videos, to be more exact.

Someone on my flist linked a "great Sarkney video", I don't remember who it was, by an artist known as "Vokal". (This is her/his website, this is her blogI downloaded, and 15 seconds into it started breathing a

Ugh God, Jo, I'm so sorry. I know the horrible feeling of being stolen from. I felt a bit helpless and just infuriated.

Shall I make a voodoo doll of her and stab it repeatedly? I'd do so, happily, on your behalf.

*hugs*

Save the energy for Phase Two. If she denies or refuses to take action after I've contacted her, I'll send cavalery on her ass.

Dude, that sucks, Jo. I'm so sorry! People are assholes! I saw that vid recced on my friendsfriends but I didn't click on it. Mainly because the only Sarkney vids I'll watch are yours. LOL.

At any rate, I hope the thief is shunned from here on out.

This is utter suckage. I had downloaded it and remembered thinking, "You know, this looks awfully familiar..." I just didn't put two and two together. For that, I am sorry.

And also, I extend my sympathies as someone who has had their work taken from them in the past. It was to a much lesser extent, of course, because you can twist words to form different sentences, but it hurt no less. If you need to talk, or plot Vokal's general doom and destruction, I'm here. AIM or email, it makes no difference to me. Ranting works well, too. *huggles you*

I'll keep this in mind. I might ask all my friends to give her a piece of their mind if she denies/refuses to take action after I've contacted her.

You already know this, but: I'm in.

...Beam me up, Scotty.

Oh, I do love this fandom. *g*

How blood stupid (and lazy) does a person have to be to steal clips from somebody else's videos and market them as their own? (What's more is that I'm pretty certain selling said clips for profit would count as a trademark and copyright infringement and is prosecutable by law.)

Is there anything that can be done about this person? This sucks completely! ::head desk::

[corngirl_jo]

Apparently, there is. If being polite doesn't work, I'll send Plagiarism Police on her ass. I might ask all my friends to give her a piece of their mind if she denies/refuses to take action after I've contacted her.

Grrr! That is just horrible. I hope she stops what she's doing... but I guess there are no guarantees :(
