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

Oh, I feel a bitch slap coming on. I'm so sorry. I've been plagarized before and it sucks. You just get this icky feeling in your stomach. People have no sense, you know?

Any help you need, hun, any kind, from going around door to door and telling her atrocious behaviour on over anything else you need: Just let me know.
This has to be stopped. Having been sort of plagiarised ages ago as well, I know how you feel.
And she's making money off it, to top it all off. Methinks a call to a lawyer would be good, to get her arse sued off ...

[corngirl_jo]

Just let me know.

Thank you Ellen. And I will.

I had no idea you dealt with plagiarism as well. I hope that case was resolved to your satisfaction.

You know..I hate make light of such a serious crime ( yes I said CRIME) but this kinda means you are like super famous and Sarkney royalty. But...that's my opinion.

I had downloaded that video yesterday from that friends post and I swear this is true. I just couldn't watch even half of it b/c the thoughts that came to my head were...Jo did that scene better. Jo had better music for that scene. It didn't occur to me at all that they were your scenes and she just put a not so great song over it! I'm so sorry for not picking up on that but from now on I shall keep an eye out. We of any fandom must help each other out when we are being ROBBED.

I hope she fesses up and takes them down.

Oh yes. Can you imagine if anyone took your beautiful fanart and passed it own as their own. After the days and hours of thought and work you've put into it. Some people are just below anything.

This is absolutely awful. I hope that you contact her, and tell her to take down the videos. I can't believe the nerve some people have. And to sell them as well? Just disgusting.

*hugs*

I'll add my voice to the chorus of "that sucks!" (And honestly, who doesn't know that making videos is hard work? Or anyway, that making good videos is?)

Do threaten to report her for selling the vids. That's illegal. My sense is that Bad Robot (at any rate) is fairly laid back about fan stuff, but selling it crosses a line. (The links provided by other people above will probably be helpful--sadly, this is a big problem in fandom.)

That's what I sensed, too. And I do mean to bring on the threats if she doesn't respond to my polite email. Which I am off to write now.
